It's the vid card that won't let you set it to that resolution.
SiS 730? Never heard of that. That's a nice monitor you picked up though.
How much did you pay for it?

that's the max resolution the card can do.

This (rather old) chipset integrated graphics unit doesn't have drivers that support 1920x1200.
Its latest driver release is three years old, predating the appearance of widescreen highres TFTs by quite a bit.
