Title:
  Wrong monitor screen size detected. Shows Zoran Corp. 20" but monitor
  is a Coby 37"

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a Coby 37" TV (model tftv3227) that I am using a a monitor via HDMI.
  When I click on "displays" it shows up as a [Zoran Corporation 20" ] monitor

  The fonts are extremely difficult to see regardless of the resolution
  I select

  I tried the following resolutions:
  1920 x 1080 (16:9)  -  Worst of all of the selections
  1360 x 768 (16:9)  -  almost looks like a 9 pin dot matrix printer. the curves of the fonts look like little squares. not smooth at all
  1280 x 768 (16:10) - this one and the following are much easier to read but fonts still look boxy and the available desktop area is not nearly enough especially since I have a 37" screen .
  1280 x 720 (16:9)
  1024:768 (4:3)
  800 x 600 (4:3)

  My guess- and it is ONLY a guess because I don't know too much about
  this area of expertise- is that Ubuntu is stretching a 20" resolution
  accross my 37" screen so the fonts are not displaying with the proper
  number of pixels.
