I need help with my new TV screen being used as a PC monitor?

I just got a new 19" LCD TV, and I went to go use the internet and for some reason it looked the same as my 15" screen that I use to have. I saw my buddies monitor for his computer and it looks different in the sense that you can see all of his screen on the internet without having to scroll to the side such as facebook as i can see his whole screen, but on mine I still have to scroll to the side. I don't know if this makes any difference but I have windows XP. Does that really matter, or if i were to get windows 7 would it be better the screen for options. My screen that i have now is wide screen 16:9. All the help would be great.
