You might also want to change the resolution on your computer to match that of the monitor.

You could also press, what you have on most monitors, the Auto Adjust button, which should remove the black lines around the monitor.

Other than that, go into windows update and install all updates plus optional ones to do with the monitor and the CPU/graphics card (depending on what you're using to output video).

Sounds like your under/overscan needs to be adjusted. An option should be in the software for whatever graphics card/chipset you have. It may be because of a similar setting on your display as well.

Does it only do it on the pc?

if so it might be you're screen resolution settings.

I believe I had to adjust scaling for my AMD card via Catalyst suite on my 7950.
I had this same exact problem.
