You cannot blame software (drivers) for the failings of the hardware
(monitor), and you have to consider the method of production. YOU are having issues with wide screen format, but it appears that most of us are not. I have a black line at the top and bottom that corrospond with where the Title Bar goes at the top and the Status Bar goes at the bottom. When the video starts, I get title information at the top, and when the mouse moves while the video is playing, I get status information -- various play buttons and the progress bar -- at the bottom. The space of the title and the status exactly fills the black space.
