I just purchased a 24" monitor but am not able to get the image square -- by this I mean not stretched sideways. I currently have may Display set at 1600 X 1200 and I love the definition, but everything is a bit stretched. The only other settings availble are: 1280 X 1024, 1280 X 768 and smaller.

Thanks,

Hi, what monitor do you have? Not all monitors have the setting to stretch while maintaining aspect ratio. If they do, it will probably be in the monitor settings somewhere.
 
Hi,

My monitor is a Soyo - Pearl Series - Model MT-N-DYLM-M24E6. I hope that will help. I have gone throught the On Screen Display but could not find anything that helped.

hmmm, i'm not familiar with that model, but if there is no option in the screen display settings, it might not be supported. All the soyos I've been able to find information on have not supported 1:1 pixel mapping, so there's a good chance this one does not either.
You could do a search for programs that can force the resolution to display correctly through software (ie, simulating the extra pixels on the left/right sides) but I do not have much experience with them.

Other than that, I can only suggest using the native resolution of 1920x1200
 
What GFX card do you have? It may be possible to set the mode in its drivers.
 
Have you installed the proper drivers for your graphics card? That may give you the right option for your monitor.
