I tried using some nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 16.04. But they prevented my machine from booting, so I went to the console and used this to purge nvidia:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
However, I can now only set my screen display to 1600x1200. My monitor supports 1920x1200, but I don't see that option anymore under the screen display settings.
Under additional drivers, I am using X.Org X server - Nouveau display driver from xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (open source).
How can I use 1920x1200 resoltion again?
Is this useful?

In the Screen Display settings, it thinks I have a Built-in Display. But I do not. I have an external monitor.

EDIT: Update...
I managed to fix this problem by going to the NVidia website directly, downloading the driver for my graphics card, and installing it. In this case, I downloaded a file called NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-375.26.run and installed it.
Unfortunately, I have still ended up with a problem when the machine alternately boots successfully, and freezes when asking me to unencrypt my hard disk, which I have asked as a question here: Ubuntu 16.04 Boot Alternates Between Freezing and Working
