1440x900 is 16:10, not 16:9. (1440 / 810) = (16 / 9) = 1.77 (1440 / 900) = (16 / 10) = 1.6 There is a check box on that form to restrict the aspect ratio. If you checked off 16:9 but still entered a 16:10 resolution, then it would only generate the modeline for a 16:9 resolution, which happened to be 1440x810 in your case. I also do not know if you're referring to a LCD TV, or a computer monitor. It's quite possible your LCD physically is 16:9, but still has a 16:10 input resolution and the picture is scaled appropriately internally. For example, my LCD TV seems to only allow 4:3 resolutions on the VGA input even though the physical aspect ratio is 16:9. It will take a 1400x1050 resolution and scale it to fit the full screen (1920x1080). I have to use 'mplayer -monitoraspect 16:9 ...' to prevent videos from being displayed as a stretched out and misshaped 4:3 image.
