You could use a smaler Resolution and than press F5 to Zoom it to Fullscreen.
The result should be no Black boarders or atleast very smal ones.

Edit:
Dont forget to use a bigger Game Map that is also filled with something to test higher resolutions.
Else it could give Problems because the standard Map Size becomes to smal after you increased Screensize.

I wish I could read that.

Maybe you have a setting somewhere that is set to that size. Huh, did you start the project on a different PC?

F5 is reload the game. I think you mean f3 and that only works if i increase the zoom value

My Default Settings are Screen Width = 816, Screen Height = 624. I think they all need to be the same.

Right, change the settings back to the default settings. The reason is that it sees the smaller settings and adjusts the screen size to it, but the window gets larger. I think you want both of those settings to match so when you go to Fullscreen, it adjusts accordingly and doesn't give you those black bars. Change 1920 and 1080 to 816 and 624 or vice versa.

Don't taunt me with anime goodies.

This is my settings:
They are the DEFAULT settings. See if there's a difference.

Now my screen opens up in Playtest as a smaller window but goes to Fullscreen with those black Bars as well. Hmm, maybe it's the Screen Scale then.

Are you playing on a mobile phone? If yes the black bars top and bottom are added by default. You will need to overwrite them with a plugin.

The Left and Right black boarder seem to be a Mapping Problem or Mapping Size Problem.
Because the Pink Hair is shown on the Black, that means it is NOT a Boarder, but actualy part of the Map that you most likely forgot to Map with Maptile!
The Upper and Lower Boarder are maybe real Boarders, but by increasing the Screen size by just 1 Maptile, 48 Pixels for Y- Axis, it should also disappear.
