Do you mean too wide distorted or physically too wide? he, he :)

If the image is distorted as Outlander above suggest it may be a
resolution issue.

Go to the Apple menu / System Preferences / Displays / and
change the resolution to a format where you could see your left
and right margins but also the top and bottom. Listed there you
will find manny resolutions but try to find the one where
everything looks sharp and fit within your monitor boundaries as
this may be the "Native" resolution".

Refresh Rate should be 60 Hertz and Rotation to Standard.
