Large screen TVs for monitor-question:

My son and I wanted to hook up my laptop to the new 40" LED Insignia TV we just recently purchased for the master bedroom and play SH4 on it.
Well we did it last night. Cool as hell, great graphics. Don't know if it would handle a game faster than SH4 like racing or flying games. From what I understand when you go from monitors to TVs there a huge drop in refresh rate.
Doesn't seem to be a problem with SH4 thought. This is going to look so cool when I get a system built to play SH5.

Now here's my only problem (so far). I have a 17" widescreen HD laptop and the game plays with a full picture from edge to edge of the laptop screen. The TV however is giving me a 2" black border all the way around the game screen when I play the game. My screen resolution for the laptop is set to its widest at 1600x900.
What can I do to get the tv on full screen?
