Got Windows 7 running but trouble with monitor resolution

I got windows 7 up and running but the monitor resolution won't go to the full 1920 x 1080 without stretching past the sides.  I have set it to 1680 x 1050 and this fits with the taskbar being fully visible.

I will need to find out why the acer monitor which is recognized does not go up to the full resolution.

Bought new computer from Staples

I got the $299 compaq desktop that is on sale at Staples this week.  I now have a windows 7 computer.  It will replace my 4 year old desktop celeron.  I now have a dual core desktop.  I think this will help with video transcoding.  I am thinking about doing some stuff for youtube and a couple of websites I am starting.  Part of my new year's resolutions were to blog more regularly and start a podcast.
