16:10 VS. 16:9

I'm really confused by the 16:9 vs. the 16:10 aspect ratios. It's my understanding that my monitor, the Dell 2007WFP, displays widescreen content in a 16:10 aspect ratio, however most videos are in a 16:9 aspect ratio. This creates a problem when viewing widescreen content over an analog connection (such as s-video) as the monitor stretches 16:9 content to 16:10, is there anyway to fix this? It's not a big problem when playing DVDs on my computer because it adjusts itself, but it doesn't adjust for external DVD players or things like the PS2.
