Sounds like you don't have square pixels.  Either use a monitor which 
does, or adjust your coordinates to take the shape of the pixel into 
account, or try different resolution settings to see if one of them does 
have square pixels.  Also, the settings on the monitor matter also, you 
may be able to adjust them to correct the shape of the pixel.
