I have recently upgraded to windows 7 and after installation I found that windows reported my native resolution as 1600 1200, but it should be 1680 1050.. I had windows XP previously and had the same problem when using a digital (DVI) cable. By using analog windows XP allowed all modes to be exposed and I was able to select 1680 1050 by creating a custom resolution with nvidia control panel.

When using windows 7 it is not possible to create the custom resolution with nvidia control panel as it says "resolution test failed". So I was wondering if it is possible to change the reported native resolution of a monitor? Also windows 7 reports my monitor as being a samsung syncmaster not a T220 even after drivers have been installed.

I have checked if the problem is my graphics card as I have plugged my monitor into other computers and the reported native resolution is still 1600 1200.

I am using a Leadtek 9800GT
 
I had the same problem. Your monitor has the wrong EDID. Google it and you will see it is quite common. Wrong EDID loaded at factory.

If under warranty have it fixed.
