Best solution

Try right clicking your desktop and selecting either properties or screen resolution and you should see to little screens in a box the one labeled #2 should be your monitor if it's not already selected select it, there should be a drop down box labeled resolution, drop that down and pick 1920 x 1080 if your laptop can produce that, mine can only go as high as 1600 x 900 but yours might be able to go higher or you may just have to live with a bit lower resolution than your monitor can go.
Edit: Also which os are you on and what kind of cable are you using?

Already tried that and my laptop can only produce 1080x780 resolution :(  I use vista home premium and the cable I got along with the monitor connected directly to the port in my laptop.

Hi Ghouldude,
I'm sorry, I just changed the monitor resolution like you said and it works fine totally.
I tried it few days back and since I had a low resolution wall paper, it looked like a monitor that's inside my monitor ( It looked as if the wall paper was in the center and 3 inches on either side were blacked out).
Screen looks beautiful now. I have a 1920x1080 wall paper now.
Thanks :)
