No, it's not the ST hardware.  It's good old analog electronics.  Your
screen's horizontal adjustment is off.  To fix it you would have to open
your monitor, and there are lots of nasties which can get you when you
do.  Have a TV type or dealer fix this for you.  It's trivial, but you
have to know where to look.
