Have you updated the drivers for your ATi 5770 card. This is probably why you encountered such low a resolution. I suggest you go to AMD website and download the latest drivers.

On the website select the relevant options:
Step 1) Desktop Graphics
Step 2) Radeon HD Series
Step 3) Radeon 5xxx PCIe
Step 4) your operating system

Then click Display Results.
Then download the Catalyst Software Suite. It's about 51Mb.

With regards to your monitors refresh rate. I myself am running a 23" wide LCD at 60Hz and I can play every game fine including Left 4 Dead 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction. This then brings us back to the driver update.

Go to www.ati.com and download an updated driver for the 5770 When you install the software you'll have the chance to install or uninstall you want to uninstall so this will remove any old ati drivers that might be causing this problem. Then go back after you restart the computer and run it again but this time install the new drivers and this should take care of your problem.
As far as the Acer 1912 LCD here are your specs:

  • 1,280 x 1,024 native resolution, fine 0.294 mm dot pitch
  • Wide 140-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles
  • 250 nits of brightness, 500:1 contrast ratio, 16 ms response time
