Short and sweet: It's usually your graphics card settings. NVIDIA or AMD, just set scaling to full screen. Easy peasy.

Got black bars in CS:GO? No worries, mate! First thing, check your graphics card settings. For NVIDIA, dive into the NVIDIA Control Panel > Adjust desktop size and position > Select 'Full-screen' under scaling. AMD users, hit up the AMD Radeon Settings > Display > GPU Scaling to 'On' and Scaling Mode to 'Full Panel'. Don't forget to tweak your in-game settings too, set the aspect ratio to match your monitor's. Boom, you're back in the game!

Honestly, black bars aren't all bad. Gives it that old-school vibe, you know? Plus, some pros use them to focus better. So, maybe give it a shot before you fix it?
