widescreen monitor

Has anyone had any luck with 16x10 monitors?  In two cases so far, I haven't 
been able to get wide screen to work.

The current is the most troublesome, if only because I spend $1,000 for the 
monitor, a Sharp.  I inserted the manufacturer's disk and found the monitor, 
but going through sax2, I could only get it to work (if memory serves) 
1200x768, which is much than my 1280x1024 19" 3x4 monitor I am now using.  
There were large black spaces at both sides, and the resolution was just 
crummy. This monitor should be good for 1820*1024.

I was using the analog 9-pin (as in VGA) cable.  Both the card and the monitor 
have digital ports.  Would it help to hook them up that way?
