What happened to Auto Adjustment on monitors?
Why do laptop monitors not need it either?

It only makes sense for analogue inputs, which never made sense on fixed-grid displays in the first place except for compatibility.

Now that VGA is finally close to death, you won't see remnants like this much more. My monitor only shows it if you connect a VGA input, for example.

Is that called overscan?

It's related to it. Technically overscan is when the whole image has been "zoomed in" (cropping the edges). When I needed autoadjust on a VGA LCD, it was usually when the image was the correct size but offset (so maybe the leftmost few columns of pixels were stuck black, and the rightmost few cut off).

It's the same concept though- it makes sure the pixels of the signal being sent map 100% to the monitor's actual grid of pixels. And again, none of this is relevant for a fixed-grid display connected digitally (DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, laptop internal, etc) to a digital source. It's still good to know if you deal with legacy stuff.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
