No contrast/aspect ratio control on Dell 2007WFP?

I have a Dell 2007WFP connected via DVI-D, and when I enter the OSD, there is no option to change my contrast, and the setting to change the aspect ratio control is grayed out.  How can I access these options?  Also, is there a calibration tool or monitor utility that goes with the monitor?  Thanks in advance.

Ok, so I figured out that you have to be outside of the native resolution to access the aspect control menu.  I opened up a game that does not support widescreen resolutions and changed the aspect ratio to 1:1, and it looked fine.  But everytime I exit the game or the monitor tries to detect an input, it gets reset, and I have to change it back manually everytime.  Is there anyway to get the monitor to remember the 1:1 setting for non-native resolution?  I also still can't figure out how to make a contrast menu appear in my OSD.

As far as I know there is no way to let the OSD remember your actual configuration, besides, some graphic cards got and option to set the scale factor and the refresh rate per resolution.

About the contrast, there is not contrast controls while you're using the DVI input. You need to switch to VGA to get that option enabled.

Hmm, that's quite unfortunate.  My Nvidia control panel won't override the monitor's aspect control for Warcraft III either.  Does anyone know any workarounds to this?
