That's your monitor for you!

Your maximum display resoloution is determined by your monitor's own "bios" if you like.

You can over-ride it to make it higher, but your monitor will dies a horrible death in the process.

Are you by any chance using a TFT monitor? These have limited resoloutions unless you want to spend alot of money.

If you really, really want high res, try getting hold of a second hand monitor, and enquire about it's max display res. Even new ones, around 19" that can go up to 1600x1200 or so are not bank-breaking these days, but do you really need it?
