Good analogy, because to fix the display all you have to do is twist your vertical hold knob (clockwise, I think, but experiment with it). The demo puts graphics above the normal top of the screen, so the ST gets a bit confused about how big the screen is. It IS possible to adjust your monitor so that you can get a good display both inside and outside the demo (but you have to get the vertical hold just right...) +New! Improved!
