What version centOS,  Kernel and nvidia drivers are you using? Also, what 
brand and model monitor? 

I don't have my Samsung wide screen hooked up to my centos, but when I first 
connected it to my Mandriva system, I could not get the full wide screen. I 
was planning on upgrading, so I did not fiddle with it much, I figured I 
would wait to see if the updates in the new Mandriva worked any better. It 
did, as soon as I upgraded, the Mandriva auto-detected my monitor and all has 
been fine since. 

It may bee you need to upgrade your Nvidia drivers.
