Most CRT monitors have a 4:3 aspect ratio which is almost square. DSLR cameras with full frame or APS-C sensors have a 3:2 aspect, more rectaugular. The closer the monitor is to the aspect of your camera it will display more of the image with a greater pixel coverage. I.E. if you could (not sure if possible) get a 3:2 aspect monitor it could fully display your image 100% without any wasted screen area/pixels.
