P3 SVGA display too wide at 1920x1080

[tomb18]

It seems the P3 does not work properly with a Dell 24" 1920x1080 display.  The other resolutions work fine.  The display is much too wide with the center located to the right by about 2 1/2" and the right of course cut off.  The display also reports 1920x1080 x58 Hz.  A standard VGA signal should be 60Hz no?
Anybody else have this?  Is there a fix?

If you're using an analog connection to the monitor, you may have to
make adjustments on the monitor. Does it have an auto-adjust feature?
If so, try invoking it....

Yes,it has digital and analogue inputs.  I have tried the auto adjust, adjusting the width, the clock and the phase.  The clock will narrow it a bit,about an inch but that's it.  The auto adjust, factory reset etc makes it too wide.  There is a message on the display that it is not the optimal resolution...i.e 1920x1080x58Hz is not optimal.  It says it should be 1920x1080x60Hz.
Why did they make it at 58hz?
I get the same thing on my picture in picture on my 30" display.

Is it possible to use a VGA to dvi adapter?  Will this fix things?

Does your monitor have a DVI-D connector?  the little flat blade without
4 pins adjacent is DVI-D. That what is on my new 22 inch Dell. I could
not find a VGA to DVI-D adapter. The local small computer store said not
possible as VGA is analog and DVI-D is digital only. If the little flat
blade does have 4 adjacent pins on your monitor then easy to find VGA to
DVI-I which is integrated analog and digital.

As aside found my new 22 inch dell did auto adjust.
