Wide screen resolution woes...?

[sth128]

I bought a Samsung Sync Master the other day, and I have been testing out the resolutions. It seems the only wide screen resolution that works is 1440x900, all the other resolutions produce really bad results: texts would become unreadable and pictures look wrong in some way.

Also, it seems to be the only resolution that supports 75hz... Is this normal? Are wide screen displays only suppose to have just one native resolution and that's it? I have no other choices?

If that's a 19" Samsung then you have it at its native resolution. When it comes to lcd panels, any resolution below its native resolution will not be as sharp.

But my Norcent 17" looks fine in pretty much all standard resolutions (ie. 800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, etc, etc)... And it's a no name brand!

Shouldn't Samsung be better than a no name brand?

If anyone is interested (which I doubt), I found a satisfying resolution for the... resolution...

It turns out that the analogue was behind the problems. I've since switched to DVI cable and everything looks super sharp!

Why Samsung didn't include DVI cable with the monitor I'll never know, with the analogue the whole thing looks terrible.
