2.5 inch black bands on either side of monitor

I just installed Mavericks 10.9.2 on my Mac Mini and strange things have been happening, among them are two black bands on either side of the display. How do I get rid of the bands and get my display back to the full width of my screen?

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

In System Preferences > Displays there is a "Resolution" area. If the resolution is set to "Best for display", you should first make sure the monitor is configured correctly. If the monitor has an "Auto-Setup" function or button (most do), do that.


If that doesn't fix it, you can select "Scaled" and try the various choices as well as the "Underscan" control, which isusually left at "off".
