Don't have one, and it's not in the Add to Panel dialog list.
System->Prefs->Monitors tells me the monitor is an AOC Intl 22", and offers me
1280x1024 (5:4)
1440x900 (16:10)
1280x960 (4:3)
1280x720 (16:9)
1024x768 (4:3)
and on down.
The 1440x900 is a bit better but not perfect. Oddly, the 16:9 offering
1280x720 looks awful, even though the advertised res of 1920x1080 is
that ratio.
