I don't have my Samsung wide screen hooked up to my centos, but when I first connected it to my Mandriva system, I could not get the full wide screen. I was planning on upgrading, so I did not fiddle with it much, I figured I would wait to see if the updates in the new Mandriva worked any better. It did, as soon as I upgraded, the Mandriva auto-detected my monitor and all has been fine since. It may bee you need to upgrade your Nvidia drivers.
