1920x1080 VS 1920x1200

goodness, al this over 120 pixels, i have a 16:9 and a 16:10 panel, really not much to write home about in differences, just older games sometimes have an issue with resolution......
 
16:10 is better for media as you don't lose quality or size with 16:9 content but you get extra vertical pixels so 4:3 content looks better.
 
Ok so after all of this discussion, still leaves me with this question

Im leaning towards 1920x1200, the Samsung T260.

I will only use the screen in its native res, will all my games be able to run ok? :confused: I have Windows 7 x64, Intel Q9550, 4GB DDR2 RAM, Sapphire 4890 1GB

For instance, Ive read here that some games dont have the high res of 1920x1200, only 1900x1080.

So if I play that game in the lower res, will I have black stripes, or will it stretch to fit the screen? What kind of quality loss am I looking at here?
 
no major quality loss, and it will stretch to the full screen size.

games should run great.

I'd say:
16:9 for gaming
16:10 for productivity
and both work well for media.

However, 16:10 1920x1200 can also display 16:9 1920x1080 resolution just fine but it wont work well the other way around ;)

I think this sums it up pretty much 100%.

A few years back?

Yes, they were available, but were not affordable option at a consumer level. BTW, Digital "HDTV" came about in the early 90's, so it's been around for a VERY long time, but has only reached a consumer level in recent years.
