Nvidia and ATI have the capability to set a custom
resolution. Powerstrip from Entechtaiwan ($) can do
that. Nvidia, in the classic control panel, has a
custom resolution dialog. With ATI, there can be a
list of resolutions you can get to show up in a
menu. So there are ways to try to deal with it.

Powerstrip is for cases where all else fails.

So try the monitor driver first, and select "install"
when right-clicked on the INF on the driver CD.

The monitor is a G900W with 1440 x 900 resolution. The BENQ site has
drivers which seem to be the same as those on the CD that came with
the monitor.
Right clicking the .inf file that is included with the driver and
selecting install does nothing apparent - perhaps it is installing the
driver but because plug and play is not detecting the monitor I cannot
see the driver.
I have downloaded the Monitor Asset Manager and will see what it
shows.

But the installation of your video card or display adaptor is essential
if you want to get it working. I'd really concentrate on that first.
If your video card cannot be set to 1440 x 900
there is nothing monitor related you can do to make it so

All I know is that the motherboard has a built in adapter using the
UniChrome graphics engine according to the Gigabyte website. There is
no adapter showing up in the hardware list.
