Question about Monitor resolutions and widescreen

I'm still debating on whether or not I want to get a widescreen monitor. I know I want one but I'm worried about resolutions. I plan to get this monitor:

Look's great and I've seen it in action at work and looks awesome. I know the desktop of windows will look ok but I play games a lot and I checked it some of my games support the high resolution that the monitor I want states and some games don't.

Question to you guys is. What if my games don't support the resolution stated? Do I just pick the next resolution down or something? are there other widescreen resolutions that'll still make it look widescreen without stretching?

Thanks in advance!

P.S I'm getting a 7600GT PCI-E soon (yes I'm changing mobo too)

P.S.S: Is this monitor any good? I been hearing good things about it: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/113266/rb/20990773951
