    I have a Samsung SA300 LED monitor and recently I am facing an issue. During startup, the Intel splash screen is not going fullscreen (it previously did) Also if I am using DOS prompt in Windows XP that also is not coming in full screen. There are black bars on two sides of the monitor giving me the feeling as if I am using a square monitor.

    Can anyone help me out?

    Ok, this seems to be the scaling option, sometimes what's happening to you is desired, lets try first with setting this option in the Intel Graphics Control Panel: enter image description here

    If you have an older version of intel graphics control panel search for something similar or ask in the comments.

    Is there any monitor that fits this requirement?

    I'm looking for nothing smaller than 22" though.

    If 21.3" is close enough to 22" for you :), then there is the ColorEdge CG211, FlexScanL997 and FlexScan S2100 from eizo http://www.eizo.com/global/iblick/productfinder/#s=s;12=4;14=2;h=1
