Black bars on Windows 7 issue is not the LCD monitor, since they vary with resolution. I expect that your HD 4870 video card settings are the cause. The fix is to right click on your desktop, and select Properties, then select the settings tab. Select the advanced button. Select the monitor tab, and you should see a "Screen refresh rate:" dropdown menu, select Monitor default or 60 Hertz.

If you monitor has an Auto Config button, push it. Or go into the screen menu (buttons on monitor) and find the auto setting there. If that doesn't work, Right click on an empty area of your desktop and select properties. Click the settings tab and change the screen resolution until you get a normal screen without black screen.

What is the resolution of the laptop? Both 800x600 and 1024x768 are 4:3 resolutions that would expect to be displayed with black bars on either side on a wide screen display. If the issue occurs in all games, the issue can be related to the Hd 4870 display card and its driver. It is always recommended installing the drivers which are compatible with the operating system.
