Ok, I thought you meant there was some other problem.

I've used a 23in monitor at 2048x1536 for years. I expect websites to use the full width, and to me it's annoying when some webmaster arbitrarily decides "I'm going to set my site width as 1024". I didn't buy a huge monitor so there would be empty space on either side of a website.

"So the larger the monitor the more zoomed out and empty the new layout is" is exactly how I would describe a 1030px column in the middle of a 2048 screen. (Although, Fluid maxes out at 1600px, so it's still annoyingly thin.)

I am still very interested in understanding why you feel that it is a burden that more of your horizontal space is used up, if you would like to explain it for me some more.
