2407HC 1440x900 ???
I am unable to set that particular resolution in display properties and it is not available in games either . The monitor is on DVI 8800gts. It would be nice if I can use it because for certain games 1680 is way too high for my vid card and 1280 is not very clear when interpolated :(

I see that it is not in the list but there are many other resolutions that are not listed and are available in display-properties , like 1280x800, 1280x768, 1680x1050 and more and they are working perfectly fine.179

vitamincpp,
Correct, all driven by the video card, not the monitor.

As you have an NVidia videocard, you can have the monitor display any custom resolution you want.In the NVidia Control Panel, you only have to create the 1440x900 resolution and add it. Then you can select it. You must use NVidia Scaling (check the box) to let the videocard scale independently of the monitor.What happens when NVidia scaling is implemented is that you see an apparent 1440x900 resolution on screen, while the card still send the native 1920x1200 to the monitor. The monitor doesn't "know" it is showing bigger fonts and pictures.Thanks to my lowly NVidia 6150 Integrated Graphics, I am using a custom 1360x850 resolution on my 2407WFP-HC and it is scaling perfectly.

As you can see here, 1440x900 is not a resolution supported on this monitor by Dell. Your video card will have to push it using a custom resolution.
