LCD monitor won't display correctly with native res

This Samsung 906BW is supposed to be 1440x900, but when I set it to that res the screen gets cut off horizontally so that I need to scroll while looking at the desktop. Things also look stretch horizontally. Only way to get everything to fill the screen and be in proportion is to set it to 1280x800. I'm using DVI so there aren't any real OSD changes I can make.

Is this some bizarre mixup at the manufacturer or is there something I'm missing?

 
Yeah just looked up the tech specs and 1440x900 is the native resolution...maybe there's a problem with drivers? (problem between the vid card settings and the monitor?)
 
Have the same problem with my HDTV and Vista Ultimate.

It was fine in XP MCE 2005.

I am 100% certain it is a driver issue ... bad ATI or nvidia drivers.
For Vista you would figure they could develope decent drivers in the 4 years that it took MS to get Vista to market.

 
Well I'm using an X1950 Pro right now and as luck would have it happened to get my 8800GTS today, so I'll replace the video card and see what happens.

It was like this when it was set to plug and play, so I installed the monitor driver and it didn't change anything. So I installed the latest ATI drivers and that didn't fix it. If it's a driver issue, then this will certainly fix it.
 
So, it worked when I went to the Nvdiia Settings icon in the task bar and chose 1440x900 resolution which is not available anywhere else even in the Nvidia Control Panel.
