Have you tried adjusting the resolution? If running Windows 7 right-click your desktop and go to 'Screen Resolution'. In this window you'll see a representation of your monitor and underneath three dropdown boxes.
'Display' just specifies the monitor, in your case it should say "Samsung" or just "SA100".
'Resolution' is the one we're interested in here. You want it set to '1366 x 768', which is the optimum native resolution for your screen.
'Orientation' we don't need to touch. It pretty much speaks for itself.

You can decrease the size of your icons by heading to the link at the bottom of the resolution screen called 'Make text and other items larger or smaller'.

This will bring you to a window with three options;
'Smaller - 100%' which as it says is the default; this is the setting that you'll want.

The other two are for larger screens; for example on my 32" I use the medium setting of 125%, otherwise my icons require a pair of binoculars to see! :D

Ok then for the next step I'm going to need more about your system. Can you update your system specs please to reflect what graphics card you have?

Although while I'm thinking of overscan (which may be the problem and why I need to know your graphics card), several monitors now have the option to auto adjust to scanning problems anyway. Your SA100 may have either a single button which easily performs this function, or else may be attained by navigating the monitor's options/settings.
I'm having trouble finding a manual for that particular monitor, as well as any guide online as to how how to do it, so you'll have to refer to the manual yourself for this one.

are you sure? cause all monitors have those buttons. or probably yours is a touch one. have you fiddled with the power button? does it allow you to change the brightness and colors? if yes, there should be an option for auto adjustment too. it could even be at the back left of right corner of your monitor.
