Why do some laptops project in full screen and some don't?

Let me try to clarify. I have two laptops. One is an HP and the other one is an Asus. When I plug the HP into my TV through HDMI, it fills the entire screen, except for about an inch and a half on each side. When I plug the Asus in the same way, it fills in the entire screen. The quality doesn't seem to be any different between the two, but I'm just curious as to why one will fill up the entire screen and one won't. They are both new laptops and have Windows 8.
