No. Not "exactly as you said." You said:

Every LCD monitor that I have ever seen (And I have sold several different
brands and models over the past few years) will auto-adjust the sync rate of
its A/D converter to spread the image from edge-to-edge, regardless of video
mode. No "double-wide pixels," no "borders."

I'm not trying to start a flame war. I'm just trying to call out the bullshit
when I see it. If you care to give a few examples which counter my description
of a typical LCD monitor's behavior, I am more than willing to listen.
