depends on the game

if a game is meant to be played in a certain aspect ratio, you will see the black bars.try changing the aspect ratio of the game

oka if you're on windows

right click the desktop and click screen resolution. it should bring up a menu where you can see your monitor above and the resolution below. what is the resolution?

Try running game on windowed mode. And then try to match in game resolution to your desktops resolution.
