What about a monitor with a greater resolution?  And rather than
stretch to fit, just go with an image that doesn't completely fill the
screen.

I feel the odd resolution is probably simply down to the size and shape
they built the laptop to.  Wide as the keyboard, highest resolution
they could, and keeping the laptop smaller instead of taller.

The larger proportion (pun intended) of screens produced these days
seem to favour 16:9 ratio thanks to widescreen TV (ignoring all the
various ridiculously w---i---d---e---screen film ratios, that are
mostly a waste of space unless it's a western - just about everything
else can make good use of more height).
