My old monitor was starting to give me headaches whenever I looked at it (blurry text is not easy to read), so I picked up a Philips 220SW over the weekend. It's on my computer now - an older box, running Windows 2000 and using the onboard NVidia Vanta display chipset.
Any idea why I can't get the display to show widescreen? The best resolution I can get is 1280x1024; the monitor is rated for 1680x1050. (This means everything's stretched. At least it's in focus...) I've installed the driver that came with the monitor, and there isn't a newer one on the Philips website.
