If you're using VGA input:

make sure refresh rate is set to 60 Hz (you don't get more fps if you set refresh rate to 75 Hz)

go in the monitor settings and tell it to auto size and center the image.

if it still doesn't fix, go in your video card's control center/panel and play with the pan and scan and underscan/overscan settings.

Thanks for your response, its at 60  and there is no option for underscan overscan, its running on intel integrated graphics where would i find that option

Check the Intel panel I think if you right click on the desktop it might pop up not sure it has its own panel as far as I know or it might be found through search option

So to be more complete.

 

Always configure your output resolution to the native resolution of your LCD panel. Double check the actual resolution of the LCD monitor, and configure that resolution in Windows.

LCD monitors allow you to configure the refresh rate to something higher than 60Hz, for backwards compatibility with various video cards and graphics mode. No matter what refresh rate you configure, the LCD monitor will still only update the image 60 times a second, so for you there's no benefit to configuring a higher refresh rate.

Higher refresh rates force the video card to send more images each second through the cable, which means each pixel from each image has a weaker signal and spends less time on cable, which means if your video cable is of poor quality those pixels can be more easily influenced and distorted by electronic interferences from outside the cable. So basically, it's in your best interested to leave the refresh rate to 60 Hz. 

 

Also, with VGA, every combination and resolution+refresh rate is a different thing. 1440x900 60 Hz is basically like a totally different resolution than 1440x900 75 Hz.

The video card always sends a larger image than the actual resolution, so you can imagine there's "black bars" all around the rectangle with your actual resolution.

Depending on refresh rate and resolution, the actual image is not centered, so you end us seeing some bars.

The monitor is supposed to auto detect that and center the image and you're not supposed to see that black stuff.

You should have an option in the monitor's menu called "Auto-Adjust" or something with center, reset, basically use your brains.

If there's no such option, you can go in the application Intel has, look through the menus. Can't tell you exact options or settings or take pictures.

I do have an Intel laptop but I don't have a VGA monitor right now, so the "Advanced" menus or "Graphical options" are grayed out. as they don't apply with the built in lcd monitor of the laptop.
