But, are you sure that it supports NO other resolutions at all? In my case, the dang thing WILL display really strange ones, like 1280 x 1024 rather than the 4:3 1280 x 960 and 1360 x 1024 which looks like it is about right but looks rather strange. Also, wrt aspect ratio, the apps that you use MAY display correctly even if Windows itself cannot. Or, so I've been told whenever I complain about my monitor's 1920 x 1200 native resolution which is 16:10. I CAN use it, and do when very occasionally viewing a wide- screen movie DVD, but ordinary digital camera images look severely squashed as I would expect. The VERY best advice I can offer if you must buy now - or just want to - is to verify the resolutions the monitor itself can support AND whether it has some sort of set-up option, as my Samsung does, that allows you to set "Wide" vs. "Normal" which may well solve any distortion issues.
