The Samsung SyncMaster 245B is a 24” TFT monitor that works at 1900×1200. I’ve waited for the release of Hardy to try it (my test was done with a video card recognized by lspci as ATI RV516 Radeon X1300/X1550 Pro). Surprisingly, Hardy chose the correct resolution at the first attempt! How simple in comparison to an older Kubuntu!

I have bought a Samsung LE26S86BD HD Television. Its manual states that its maximum resolution is 1366x768@60: connecting it to a live Feisty (running on my TM 8003LMi) through its VGA port I have got this xorg.conf file that lets it work at 1024x768@60 and I suppose that, with more care, it won’t be hard to get its maximum.
I bought a Samsung SyncMaster 204B monitor. It’s a 1600×1200 20” with a 5 ms response and bright colors (for a complete review of it, you can point your browser to HardwareCentral). Here I just want to let you know it shines perfectly with Kubuntu 
and that here you can find my xorg.conf, which is a modified version of the one I use with my laptop (Acer TravelMate 8003Lmi which is shipped with ATI Mobility Radeon 9700). I switch between the two xorg.conf of my laptop inside or outside my office (aka with or without the Samsung monitor).
UPDATE (2006-12-21): if it still does not work, try following this Wiki then activate the driver directly with the Kubuntu video control manager (and use one of the ATI versions of my xorg.conf).
UPDATE (2007-04-23): with Feisty it works even better.
