    The black bars are an inevitable result when the resolution you have chosen has a different aspect ratio than the monitor's native resolution. To remove the black bars you have to make the resolution you are watching into the same aspect ratio, in which case a portion of the image will be cut off.

    To put it more plainly: If you want a square peg to fit into a round hole you have to shave off enough of the corners of the square peg until it's a round peg.
