I've not been back to the dealer as I got fed up with all the to-ing and fro-ing with the first problem.

Is it photgraphs that do not fit the screen or the computer image? If you get lines down the side on full screen images of photographs they are not the same shape as the screen. Wide screen is 1.6:1, Photographs are 1.5:1 or 1.3:1 unless you tell the computer to crop to fill the screen it will only fill to the top edges.

Your new graphics card should have an HDMI output to go to your new monitor. This becomes totally digital so these fit problems should disappear.
