LCD displays usually have only a single resolution available. This
means, if you choose a resolution below the displays's resolution, the
resukting image on the display will not be full-screen. Regular monitors
however can adjust their resolution, so they are always full-screen.
Check the resolution of your different modes and set it to your
display's resolution.
