I think I see what you're asking. No, I don't think Photoshop has a
function for viewing the image on a borderless white field
(unfortunately; I can see how something like that could be handy).

Are you on a Mac or PC? On a Mac, you could write an Applescript (which
you could trigger via keyboard command using Quicksilver, for example),
that would Select All, Copy Merged, create a new document the size
of your monitor resolution, Paste, and switch to fullscreen view. That's
hackish huh?
