First off, let me just say that this is my first time EVER posting on these forums, so I apologize if I am posting in the wrong "sub-section" because I am in the Displays section, but I do not see any sub-section for monitors. Oh well :/

Moving on...

I'm looking for a 20 inch monitor that has a NATIVE resolution of 1280x1024@75Hz. It also needs to be 16:9. Is there such a monitor? If so, I apologize for not knowing because I have looked everywhere for such a monitor, with no luck to be found :/ Thanks a lot everyone :)

I think your requirements conflict with each other. Monitors normally use square pixels (same height and width), so 1280x1024 would give you a 5:4 aspect ratio. I don't think anybody has built a 1280x1024 with stretched pixels to make it 16:9. 1280x720 and 1920x1080 are the nearest common 16:9 resolutions depending on whether you want to retain the horizontal resolution or the vertical. I found a 20 inch 1280x1024 screen here (not 16:9 though):

1280x1024 resolution is easier to find in 17 and 19 inch LCDs, rather than 20 inch.
