The 2005fpw has a cool feature that allows you to eliminate stretching/scaling. In the menu there is a "1:1" setting which allows images to be displayed in native resolution as long as they fit on the screen. For example, you can display 1280x1024 at 1:1, which gives tiny black bars along top/bottom, and larger bars left/right.

Awesome, thanks

You dont see that because your current monitor does not support it so it will not show up as a possible resolution. Once you get the monitor, you may also need to install the .inf just so your card can know your monitor can do that resolution.

Yes you do need to update the .inf for the monitor (from the CD or Windows Update), but that may not be sufficient depending on your video card. In my case (old card) I also had to manually enable the native resolution using Powerstrip.
