That is pretty close to saying it is a hardware problem.

As others have said, hi-res DVI is a suck-it-and-see; basically the DVI 
spec doesn't go above 1280x1024, so manufacturers have a harder target
supporting anything higher.
I have a Matrox G550 driving an iiyama flat screen at 1600x1200 with 
DVI-D, even though the card is only supported upto 1280x1024.
The picture is good, but there is some shadowing.

The analog-to-digital on good quality flat screens has improved
a lot over the years. Can you get an acceptable picture using the 
analog signal on the DVI port (you may need a DVI-A cable instead 
of the DVI-D cable you are probably using) ?
It is sad, but analog signals may outlast DVI-D :-(
