The are seeing a mile of side-scrolling and only about 1/3 of their actual web page. That's what they're seeing.
It can be fixed by setting the tables to percentages rather than fixed widths.
width=90% rather than width=1600 or whatever. Try to keep track of the widths of images in the various columns of the page too, because you can set your tables to be "collapsible" all you want but if the images in your tables force your pages to be 2000 pixels wide then you're screwed that way too.
Most professional sites that use the "entire page" layout are compatible even on 14" monitors. One only need to find one, view source, and figure out how they're doing it.
