I got a new wide monitor (my first LCD).
It is capeable of this resolutions:
Modes "1360x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

when I switch to any of the resolution with 4:3 aspect ratio
picture is streched so everything is wider than it should be.
To remedy this, on monitor are some buttons and I can switch it to
4:3 ration (than there are black stripws of empty spaces on
left and right border of monitor but the picture is fine - not
streched out). I do dis switch by manually pressing buttons
on monitor.

I wonder if there is some program that can perform this swich by
issuing command from computer instead of me manually pressing the
buttons on monitor?

In manual for monitor I did not find any note about such posibility.
I have LG FLATRON W1943SS.

Not the same monitor (LG FLATRON W2042S) but have had no success in
finding anything to auto-switch the 4:3 modes correctly. My assumption
being that, because there's a button to do the job, it's not possible to
do it in software as the relevant commands don't exist to do it.

If you don't run the monitor at its native resolution, things can look
pretty ugly anyway.

Now, there's an oxymoron for you. :-)

Is this generaly not possible for any monitor or some (more expensive,
perhaps other manufacturer) do have this feature?

LCD displays are designed to work well at only one resolution (native
resolution). Your display seems to be those called "wide", with an aspect-
ratio of 16:10 and should be set at 1680x1050. Some displays, when using
analog input (VGA) have a button to "auto-set" the values.

That "4:3 in wide" feature must be hardware provided, I guess. It could
be useful for displaying video sources with 4:3 aspect ratio (in order to
keep the image undistorted), but I find that not convenient for
displaying computer images :-?

I have no idea, sorry. I've only ever used three LCD monitors, and of
those, only one is a widescreen. The other two have a 4:3 aspect ratio.
