Pixel numbers suggest it's an LCD, not CRT monitor.
Not sure he could go above the native pixel resolution with an LCD, I guess he couldnt. I checked my laptop's LCD, it's 1280×800 native resolution. No higher at the settings, only lower, which would look awful anyway, LCDs are designed to be used at their native resolution, not off from that. CRTs are much flexible for various sizes.
