I've tried with the two attached images, one is 1014x758, the other is 1024x768 (just in case, because I'm not sure what's the real screen resolution). The 1014x758 one looks better, more crisp, so I guess this is the actual resolution.
But the bottom and right borders (in portrait) are cut out.
Top edge: About 2 pixels extra wide space outside the picture.
Right edge: I see only 3 lines, that's ~4 pixels hidden under the bezel.
Bottom edge: All five lines (9-10 pixels) are hidden under the bezel.
Left edge: This one looks perfectly aligned.
Is this a problem in normal reading? Probably not, but it's annoying when viewing images in full screen, sometimes there are important details near the edges. Besides, it means that the usable screen is not really 1014x758, as advertised, but rather ~1004x754.

I don't expect perfect fitting, but I'd prefer extra white space rather than hidden pixels.

This test was done with the default image viewer, no third party. (Well, I have some patches, but I don't think they affect image viewing.)
