External Monitor Question

Okay, so my friend has an iMac 27 inch and I was thinking about the fact that he can run safari and have the application open on his desktop, and the the window doesn't take up the whole screen but still looks good. He can then open spotify and push it to the right side of the window and have both applications in the same window without filling the whole screen. I have a macbook pro 13inch with a 40 or so inch external monitor. As I pull my applications to said monitor they do not fill the same way. The zoom greatly and fill the screen as applications do on a macbook screen. Is there any resolution settings or tips you guys have on making my external monitor fit windows like the iMac does?

The bottom line is. It's very possible that the resolution of the 27" iMac and the resolution of the 40" external monitor are not the same...especially if the 40" external monitor is only 720p.
