Forcing a resolution with Amd Engine Control Center.

[chilypepper]

I have 2 6870s and until recently I noticed that the resolution was stuck on 1680x1050 while the max supported resolution is 1920x1080. Now when I set it to this, the colors get extremely bright and the whole monitor just looks so weird. The monitor looks GREAT on 1680x1050, and through some quick multiplication((1920/1680)*1050) it should look fine on 1920x1200, I guess this means its ratio is 16:10? Now how can I force the 1920x1200 resolution using win. 7 or the AMD software?

The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster P2370HD

This is how it is regularly:

And with 1920x1080:

Notice the blockiness around the text, and you can't see it but it's alot brighter.
