Just a guess but, since the statement says "not optimum" I also would go
with no DVI. But it seems a bit extreme to hit you with that every time
it boots up.
As to FastStone viewer I haven't a clue what's going on. But I would
consider it an interesting experiment to feed it an image small enough
that it can easily be displayed with 1:1 pixel mapping. That way it has
to do no diddling with the size. The question is... does it still do
stretched verticals?
