Was wondering whether would get a black border around the display or an
increase in displayed information.

That would depend both on your monitor settings and the settings in MSFS.
There's no reason you'd get a black border unless you wanted it, nor would
you be restricted to 1024x768 for any reason other than perhaps your own
personal reasons, or lack of a video card capable of higher resolutions.

Bottom line: as far as MSFS goes, you can use any resolution supported by
your video card and monitor combination.
