My story of woes start with a new monitor, this crazy 43" LG 4K display.
Generally love the display, BUT, the backlight ends right at the end of the
screen. If you're 10 feet back, the edge of the panel and the edge of the
backlight roughly align. My desk ain't that big though... At my normal
distance, I "lose" around 7-8 pixels around the border of the screen.
I had a similar issue with an FullHD TV. However as soon as I
configured it in "Computer" mode (don't remember exactly the
terminology), the pixels were correctly aligned.
Thus I would say there is an issue with your monitor more than anything else.
But regarding large screens, I think you'll soon face another issue,
especially if you are also using the laptop's monitor, namely the size
of the window title bars: on the large screen they are too small o be
read.
Therefore a related feature would be having the possibility to specify
the size of titles and fonts per monitor. (Although I guess this
would be quite complex to implement.)
