Calling all Dell FP owners

I just got a 2005FPW from dell and so far so good with one exception. When I set the resolution to a lower 16:10 ratio one, the monitor does not size the picture correctly. But 4:3 ratio resolutions are scaled just fine. Is anyone else having this problem??

I want to be able to run games at 1280x800, but the monitor only stretches the image width wise, not height wise. Same deal for 16:9 ratios also. I gotta say, this is totally counter intuitive. I tried playing with all the settings for image sizing on the monitor and nothing helped.

So, 2005FP owners, same problem?
 
Just in case I wasn't clear. I just want confirmation from another 2005FPW owner about this issue. All I need is for someone to go into the windows display settings, try settting it to 1280x800 and see if the image sizes to fully fit the screen.

Any results would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
 
All the resolutions I set my screen too fit to the screen. Unless you have it set to aspect ratio in the settings of the screen itself instead of fill.

Wild, I never use monitor controls for fine tuning.
Use the video card's control panel.
If u have Nvidia card there's a ton of buttons, switches etc.
First, choose option "Let graphics card control display" (words. like that).
Then monkey with the 3 buttons "Maintain Aspect Ratio", "Full Screen", "Center Image" (words like that) and watch to see what gives best image..
Heck, I don't even have my 23" HP's factory drivers installed. My BFG6800GT vid card controls the monitor.
 
Go to the OSD, Image Settings > Scaling

There should be options for 1:1, Aspect, and Fill. Adjust these settings and you monitor will either keep it at native res (1:1), fill the screen as much as possible but keep the same aspect (Aspect), or just stretch the image across the entire screen ignoring the initial signal aspect ratio.

Ya, the monitor is set to fill.

But, it has some pretty terrible backlight bleeding, so I'll be returning it anyway.
