I'm interested in buying a widescreen monitor to watch 16:9 dvd movies on the computer.

I'm on Windows 2000 (my other pc is xp). Right now, when I go into my desktop settings, I can only select resolutions with 4:3 ratios (like 1024x768).

If I connect a widescreen monitor, What do I have to do to have 16:9 ratios selectable?

As long as your video card supports widescreen resolutions, then when you set up and connect your widescreen monitor then you will be able to select the widescreen resolutions based on what your video card supports.
