Ubuntu – How to change resolution to 1920 x 1080

10.04resolution

The display looks a bit stretched and there is a system pop-up that says something like "Resolution Notice: for best quality change resolution to 1920 x 1080" but in Monitor Preferences the only choices in the Resolution drop-down are 1600 x 1200 (the current setting), 1280 x 1024, and less (which all look worse). The monitor preferences calls the Monitor "unknown," the monitor is a ViewSonic VX2450WM, and the PC is an HP p7-1120.

you can use jupiter install it like so 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/jupiter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jupiter

logout and back in again and then on the top right corner you will have a new icon select
it and go to screen resolution and select your preferred resolution

this is the only app i use to change the resolution when needed.(I never used anything else)
