Control Strip: Missing High Resolution Video Options

This article describes the video options in the Control Strip control panel for Macintosh computers connected to high resolution monitors.

The Control Strip is missing the 1280x960 and 1280x1024 resolution options that are available in the Monitors & Sound control panel. When I select one of the higher resolutions, it shows up in the Control Strip until I change the resolution to a lower resolution. I am unable to get both high resolution options to show in Control Strip at the same time.
The current design of the Control Strip control panel dictates that it will only show the 'standard' resolutions for the monitor. The 'extended' or highest resolutions (usually less than 72 dpi) will not be listed in the Control Strip. Therefore, in this particular case the 1280x960 and 1280x1024 resolutions will be missing.
