Hi,
How common is it for a monitor to have a small gap between, what actively shows on the display and the physical bezel?
On my ASUS MG279Q monitor that i recently purchased, I noticed that there is gap between the screen and the bezel, as shown here. Also, i know there's no overscan issues as its set to 0%.

Maybe this is really common with IPS monitors? My old TN monitor didn't have this problem at all (if it did, then it was so minimal that it was hardly noticeable). However, on this ASUS MG279Q, i can always notice the gap between the active desktop screen and the physical bezel.
It's just odd, because coming from a laptop, there is absolutely no gap at all on my Macbook Pro w/ Retina display.
to me, the gap looks like "unused space" and I really wonder if, because of the lack of pixels in these gaps, that my monitor isn't really "2560x1440" as advertised.
