Initailly i couldn't get anything to display with FC4, I had to connect my old monitor and change the Monitor manually to get the display working with the new monitor.

The other setting (1680x1024) is between 16:9 and 16:10. I assume from the link you provided that you meant 1680x1050 both times. On my LCD monitor I had to set the VertRefresh setting for the monitor to read "VertRefresh 60.0 - 60.0" instead of the one given by probing (your "VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0"). It then worked perfectly with no other tweaking (Other than setting the mode in the screen section). >
