HP W1907 - 1440x900 Not Available

Products:

HP Pavilion a6655f Desktop PC

HP W1907 19-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD Monitor

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

Problem: I'm unable to set the native resolution of my monitor to 1440x900. The monitor tries to auto adjust to that resolution, but it always gets set to a non-standard widescreen resolution, which results in poor blurry image.

In the display settings it doesn't list 1440x900 as an option, not even if I go into advance and tell it to list all unsupported.

I've tried numerious Nvidia driver updates and downloading the latest w1907 monitor driver and I'm still not able to set it to the native resolution.

Before going to Windows 7, I even did a factory restore from the recovery drive to stock factory Vista and it still did the same thing even straight from the factory reset.

Is the monitor defective? I hooked another 27 inch monitor up to it and it works fine and shows 1440x900 in the list, but it's almost like the EDID is messed up on the 1907.

I'm concerned by the fact that it was messed up like this even right after the Factory restore.
