A friend of mine has a Samsung SyncMaster monitor (new) that he is installing for the first time. &nbsp;I don't know the specific model, but he said it looks a lot like mine, which is the 206BW.

Samsung SyncMaster LCD monitor does not fill screen all the way

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
