1905 fp problems

I recently received my 1905 fp monitor.  I have a couple of questions and getting through to a Dell tech rep is virually impossible. Maybe someone can help me.
1) I am not getting full screen.  It is set to stretch (as per the advice of earlier posts I read).  When I am on the internet, the screen is minimal.  How can I get a full screen?  That is the sole reason I bought a new matter, so I can see a full screen rather than a little box of information.  My resolution is set to the suggested (highest resolution).
2) I am reading a lot of info regarding video cards.  How do I find out what card I have.  I have a 4600 Dimension desktop.  Can someone inform me as to what cards are compatible with the video output on this monitor rather than analog?          
Please respond asap as I am so frustrated.  You would think Dell support would be helpful but it appears that you can only get through to them if you have nothing to do all day but sit on hold on the phone or they do answer almost immediately when you want to place an order with them
 
Thank you so much.

    I use mozilla firefox and changed the font size...am now quite happy with the result. Have not been able to get the digital connection to work. Dell is sending me another monitor - we'll see. Dell's tech service is absolutely horrible. For example, i spent 3 hours - yes 3 hours yesterday with them as i had not gotten the replacement monitor. They had no record of such and it took 3 hours with too many people to count. An awful experience. I found reading posts here and doing a google search helpful. Good luck.

    To find out what card you have, go to the device manager and check what it says under display adapter. It will give you the name of the adapter.
