Do you have x11-apps/xrandr installed?  If you do, see what this says. 


xrandr --listmonitors


This is mine:


root@Gentoo-1 / # xrandr --listmonitors
Monitors: 3
 0: +*DP-2 1920/698x1080/393+0+1080  DP-2
 1: +DP-1 1920/698x1080/393+0+0  DP-1
 2: +DP-7 1920/1150x1080/650+1920+1080  DP-7
root@Gentoo-1 / #


DP-2 is my primary display and if you have only one monitor, should be
the only line for you but might be DP-1 instead.  Micheal might can
explain this better, or even more correctly, but I think the important
part for this is where mine says +0+.  I think, just think, if yours
says something like +192+ instead of 0, that might be a clue.  If it
says 0 as it should, then this may be the wrong track to look down. 
What I'm wondering, is the monitor set to show a blank, or black,
section on that side for some reason.  This could very well not be the
case tho.  If it shows correctly like mine does, then ignore this and
know that isn't causing the problem at least. 

This is a odd problem.  I don't think I ever saw this even during the
old CRT days.  o_O
