It could be that the brightness is set too high on your display, but if that were the case I'd expect it to be the other way around (the grey would be within the 16:9 part of the image).

As a general approximation, brightness should be set so that 4% above black is just visible (that is a solid bar RGB 10,10,10 can just be seen on a RGB 0,0,0 background).
