I run Linux (slackware64 14.2) and used xrandr to find the correct modeline - to address the issue you describe. Once I had the modeline I edited a conf file (10-monitor.conf) and it worked. I imagine there might be a way to do the same in other operating systems - I'm sure Acer has a pdf to help with that. Here is my conf file for any Linux users, with the correct parameters (I have an intel video card, edit this section if you have an ATI):


Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "VGA1"
 Modeline "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
 Option "PreferredMode" "1600x900_60.00"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Screen0"
 Monitor "VGA1"
 DefaultDepth 24
 SubSection "Display"
 Modes "1600x900_60.00"
 EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Device0"
 Driver "intel"
EndSection
