Does that monitor support 1600x1200? If not, then you need a different monitor. Not many 19" LCDs support 1600x1200, so you need to check that when shopping.

Fisherman is correct. Nearly all of the 19" monitors are native SXGA (1280x1024). When buying a monitor, look for the native resolution and what other resolutions are supported by scaling the image up or, down.
