If it's being seen as a generic non PnP monitor then your system probably has no idea what resolutions it supports.
Try right clicking on the monitor in Device Manager and select "scan for hardware changes".
If that doesn't do anything then try uninstalling the monitor and then restart the PC and see what it's detected as.

tried scanning for update than uninstalled after that failed, re booted and still suggests it is a generic monitor....mine is detected as pnp monitor,but its a few models up e2260
heres the driver version it uses,
funny how no drivers are available to download from lg for your e2240
idk if googling that driver version/installing might help you

Right click on the desktop, select screen resolution, click on advanced settings, click on the monitor tab and untick the box which says "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display".
You should now be able to select whatever resolution you like but be careful not to select one your monitor can't support.
Presumably you're safe selecting 1920x1080 @ 60Hz.
Try that and see if it ripples through into the game settings.

Possible solution (if all else fails)
OK, this will be kind of a drastic measure, but you could try using an application called RefreshLock. It basically allows you to force a certain resolution to be used with a certain refresh rate, and if I remember correctly, even force any user-preferred combination to be used at all times. I think the application is first and foremost designed for CRTs, but it's worth a shot if nothing else seems to work. But be warned, you can even force modes that your monitor won't be able to support.
Oh, and some games won't allow the resolution/refresh rate change, and might crash with an error notification. I don't remember the last game that did that, but the game's intro was somehow incompatible with the RefreshLock, and I had to alt-tab to enable it only AFTER the intro.
