Another choice would be to force a wide resolution (preferably the monitor's native resolution) in MAME itself rather than via the desktop, especially if you are using the display in an arcade cabinet or with a home theater half way across the room or the like.

Just a thought, is your monitor a true 16:9 or maybe a 16:10? If it's hard to see, the display might be trying to cram too many pixels into the LCD panel and the monitor is truncating it to fit. If monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050 rather than 1920x1080 it would do just that. Trying to display full HD on a 17" 1280x1024 (5:4) LCD looks like crap too, I was forced to bring an old monitor out of retirement earlier this year when my main one contracted the CapXon disease, which was quickly cured with a dose of Rubycon.
