OK...That looks like a case of image scaling issue...

 

On Nvidia Graphic card that can be custom by going to Nvidia Control Panel - > Video & Television - > Resize HDTV Desktop.

 

Under 'When the desktop is displayed on my HDTV' select 'Resize HDTV Desktop' and click Resize Desktop. Check below Screenshot...

Now on click Resize Desktop you will get below screen... Now move the slider on right and bottom of nvidia logo up-down or left-right till the 4 corner arrows line up to the screen edge...

Note: above screenshot from latest nvidia driver. May change on older one...

OK...that is old...try and download nvidia driver from here http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-258.96-whql-driver.html and check, if that is not installing...


To take screenshot, open Nvidia Control Panel, with that windows active... press ctrl+alt+fn+prt sc... than open Mspaint and paste it....

Here is a small note, That I have missed out...to get that option you need to connect your laptop to the TV using HDMI....
