    A 19" widescreen monitor is probably something like 1440 x 900 and ANY Flat panel run at other than its native resolution looks truely awful compared to running at its native resolution. Some cope better than others but it still ends up fuzzy to a certain extent.

    Check for updated drivers

    In the properties,click on Advanced > Monitor and see if the "hide modes my mnitor cant display" is ticked

    My PC was showing 1280x1024 as the highest setting but when I unticked the box there was a 1600x900 and a 1920 x something mode.

    Also take a look at a program called "Powerstrip"

    I havent used it personally but I know some people who swear by it to get custom resolutions for their PCs on Plasma and large LCD screens.
