LCD displays are designed to work well at only one resolution (native
resolution). Your display seems to be those called "wide", with an aspect-
ratio of 16:10 and should be set at 1680x1050. Some displays, when using
analog input (VGA) have a button to "auto-set" the values.
That "4:3 in wide" feature must be hardware provided, I guess. It could
be useful for displaying video sources with 4:3 aspect ratio (in order to
keep the image undistorted), but I find that not convenient for
displaying computer images :-?
