I have a new monitor and it has these beveled edges that makes the left and right side have these curved, faded, black gradient. It cuts away at the edges and looks worse depending on what angle I'm leaning at.

If I use nvidia's control panel to resize the resolution.  

It adds margins, but creates new issues. I have programs that are dependent on 1920x1080 resolution and this change breaks them.

Is there a way to add black margins around the edges of my monitor while retaining the exact resolution so that I don't see those curved edges cut away what I'm looking at?

I think the old CRT monitors used to be able to do it and even let you change the position of the image on screen. My monitor only has the ability to change between 4:3 aspect ratio and 16:9. No other reshaping settings.
