    Angry [solved] How to set screen aspect ratio to 16:10?

    Hello, I have a LG Flatron L177WS.

    I am having blurred image.

    There is a site that diagnosed my problem: my screen aspect ratio is currently 16:9 and my monitor would work better with 16:10.

    The site that diagnosed it is http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/display_settings.php

    And here's what it says:

    Code:
    Resolution: 1280x720   (720p 16:9)
    Description: HDTV format, not common for computer monitors. (as of 2007)
    Note: your screen is too small to display the images without rescaling. (at least 1024x768 recommended)
    Note:  your resolution does not have a common 5:4 (1.25), 4:3 (1.33), or 16:10  (1.6) aspect ratio, which means that images can be distorted. Your  aspect ratio is: 1.78.
    Color depth: 24 bits (Truecolor, Millions of colors)[/QUOTE]I believe my screen will display correctly if I manage to set the aspect ratio to 16:10. But I can't find this option in the "system settings -> display" section. And my monitor does not have to option to manually force the aspect ratio to 16:10.
    
    Is there any way to fix it?
    
    By the way here's my system's info:
