It seems like you are facing an issue with your Sony Vaio laptop's display after connecting a monitor to it. The problem you described, where there are black bars on the left and right sides of the laptop screen instead of using the entire screen, is a common occurrence when using multiple monitors with different resolutions or aspect ratios. To fix this issue and make sure that your laptop display utilizes the entire screen space, you can follow these steps:

Adjust Display Settings in Windows:​

1. Open Display Settings:
   • Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings" from the context menu.
   []Check Multiple Displays Configuration:
   • Scroll down to the "Multiple displays" section and ensure that the correct display settings are selected.
   • You can choose between "Duplicate these displays" or "Extend these displays."
   []Adjust Resolution and Scaling:
   • Click on "Advanced display settings" and choose the correct resolution for your laptop display.
   • Ensure that the resolution matches the native resolution of your laptop screen.
   • You can also adjust the scaling settings to make sure the content fits the screen properly.
   []Check Graphics Card Settings:
   • If you have dedicated graphics card software (like NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Catalyst Control Center), check the display settings there as well.
   • Ensure that the aspect ratio settings and scaling options are appropriate for your setup.
   []Reboot Your System:
   • After making the necessary changes, restart your laptop to apply the settings.

     Additional Tips:​

     • Make sure your monitor and laptop have compatible resolutions to avoid display issues.
     • Update your graphics drivers to the latest version to ensure compatibility and performance.
     By following these steps and adjusting your display settings, you should be able to resolve the issue of black bars on your laptop screen and utilize the entire display space effectively. If you encounter any difficulties or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
