Hi,
Probably you are talking about viewing webpages, I think that's the way the designers want to fit to all types (old and new) of monitors. Old monitors use 4:3 format, modern monitors use 16:9 (or 16:10) format therefore normally there are 2 black bars on both sides on the monitors (including this site, very similar to viewing 4:3 movies on a wide screen TV). Many webpages use other method, speciall ONLY TEXT webpages which can fit nicely on all monitors.
Zooming (Ctrl and + or using the mouse wheel) will fix & make the whole page bigger.
Regards
