You must be using an arcade monitor that supports higher resolutions. On a classic low-res 15KHz monitor, if you try to display the game AND the bezel, both will look terrible.
The point of using an arcade monitor is to get pixel-perfect output of the game screen. By definition, that means that there's no extra pixels around the edge for bezels.
