Widescreen monitor best resolution?



I have a 19" widescreen monitor currently set to 1440 x 900 resolution.
Is this the best resolution i can get? When I try to change it in
control panel stuff goes off the screen or stuff all looks squashed. My
graphics card lets me specifically type in any resolution I want - what
better resolutions could I have?

Many thanks in advance.
