I suspect what the switch might be trying to do is mess with the EDID
data.
And its firmware isn't coded for more than 1600x1200.  I just don't know
if
this was because the engineer coding it didn't know of 1920x1200
(unlikely)
or if management interfered (more likely).  Maybe it could be a
do***entation
issue and it really would work with 1920x1200.
