Yes you will.

Unfortunately it's not the same as my Panel.

You need a 1,680 x 1050 mode for the desktop. If you don't need other 
modes, that's it.

If not, then what you need are modes that either align the pixel that 
the computer wants displayed, with the pixels on screen, or that try 
to display less than half the number of pixels (both vertically and 
horizontally). This involves blank lines and blank pixels at the top 
bottom and sides as needed for lower resolution modes. Usually needed 
at the sides anyway because it is widescreen.

Otherwise you get a fuzzy display, how bad this is is dependent on the 
design of the screen and the fussiness of the viewer. I personally 
would get a headache after a few minutes with the wrong mode, others 
are happy day in day out.

Most games are 640 x 480 or less (less than half your display 
resolution), so modes based on VGA (480 lines vertically) or EGA (350 
lines vertically) are probably best. Normal ones will work but will 
probably be flattened to fill the screen (unless you screen is 
particularly well designed).
