Despite having the resolution of my computer set to 1680x1050 from Windows, my monitor seems to be receiving a single of 1600x1200.

I know this..

1) because on my VX2025wm I received the advisory to change the resolution to 1680x1050

2) because in the main menu on the monitor I'm using now, it reports a resolution of 1600x1200.

And, in both cases, the resolution in Windows is set to 1680x1050.

What could be going on here?
 
I have seen this with the 8800gts and one of the acer monitors. It barely stretches out things. Is your text a little bit blurry? Do you have the latest drivers? I heard its just a driver issue.

That is the issue exactly: my text is very blurry.

Which drivers?
 
The latest nvida drivers but make sure you uninstall your current video drivers first and then use driver cleaner. It will give you the option of which drivers, just check nvidia graphic drivers, reboot and install the new ones.
 
not sure if you need to install drivers for your LCD, did on my 2005fpw+2407fpw.

I'll try to help you with the blurry text for I had the same exact problem.

I need you to do the following steps:

1. NVIDIA Control Panel > Display > Manage custom timings.
2. Click both "Treat as HDTV" and "Allow modes not exposed by the display"
3. Click [Create...]
4. Under Custom display mode values:
Horizontal desktop pixels: 1440
Vertical desktop lines: 900
GDI Refresh rate: 60
Bits per pixel: 32
(don't have "Interlaced" checked)
5. Click [Advanced >>] (by the way this is where I didn't go when NVIDIA emailed me)
6. Under "Back-end parameters":
Timing standard: DMT
Desired refresh rate: 60
(the rest of the fields are grayed out)
7. Under "Front-end paramers"
Scaling type: Display (none)
8. Click [Test]
9. Click [OK]

I have a 941bw so they should be quite similar.
In step number 4, change your resolution to whichever is your native resolution or the resolution you are currently set at.
