I have two of the same model HP 19" LCD 4:3 monitors connected to a full-tower Dell Optiplex 755 running Ubuntu Gnome 14.10. One screen is detected as 19" and the other as 17" but both screens are completely filled and not overfilled, properly aligned, and otherwise function just fine--I would never know there was a detection discrepancy but for having opened the display settings out of unrelated curiosity.

Shows Zoran Corp. 20" but monitor is a Coby 37" Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a Coby 37" TV (model tftv3227) that I am using a a monitor via HDMI. When I click on "displays" it shows up as a [Zoran Corporation 20" ] monitor The fonts are extremely difficult to see regardless of the resolution I select I tried the following resolutions: 1920 x 1080 (16:9) - Worst of all of the selections 1360 x 768 (16:9) - almost looks like a 9 pin dot matrix printer. the curves of the fonts look like little squares. not smooth at all 1280 x 768 (16:10) - this one and the following are much easier to read but fonts still look boxy and the available desktop area is not nearly enough especially since I have a 37" screen . 1280 x 720 (16:9) 1024:768 (4:3) 800 x 600 (4:3) My guess- and it is ONLY a guess because I don't know too much about this area of expertise- is that Ubuntu is stretching a 20" resolution accross my 37" screen so the fonts are not displaying with the proper number of pixels.
