I don't know whether this would apply with monitors as much as standard 
televisons, but you could try looking for an ajustment trimmer inside the unit.

All usual monitor safety aspects apply here:

1 - Leave monitor unplugged with power switch on for a couple of days.

2 - Try not to prod about inside the unit too much, also keep away from the EHT 
    line, the thing that enters the tube at the top.
 
3 - Work with one hand in pocket.

What you should be looking for is a small trimmer or potentiometer on the 
surface of the board near the back.  It should have something like 'width 
adjustment' on the component side of the board.  If it doesn't, somebody else 
can probably advise you further as I am not really an expert with computer 
monitors!

If and when you find the trimmer, turning it up slightly will increase the 
range of the adjustment control on the front of the unit.

Hope that this is somewhat helpful.  :)


Cheers,
