Can a 1920x1080 Monitor play 1920x1200?

Topic. I'm just curious because if I get a monitor that is 1920x1080 (this is full HD right?), don't most games use the 1200 resolution? I was just curious if this would mess anything up.

So, then look for a 1920x1200 monitor, or go a higher resolution?LordsLoss

[QUOTE="LordsLoss"]So, then look for a 1920x1200 monitor, or go a higher resolution?-GeordiLaForge-

No because a 1080p monitor is only 1080 pixels high. Anyway, I'm yet to come across a game that won't run a 1080p.

get 1920x1200 because it is better.

I found this one. Does anyone know of a 1920x1200 under $200 that is pretty good? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236051

get 1920x1080

trust me on this, its future proof better than any other resolution if you want compatability

if you think about the fact that the witcher 2, a recent high quality game, was released and only supported 16:9 resolutions (1920x1080), and not 16:10 (1920x1200)

it just shows that some devs are still thinking with consoles in their mind, ie 16:9 resolutions, so do yourself a favor to prevent troubles

(i know a patch was released to fix the problem but still, why wait months for a patch when you could just get a 16:9 monitor)

You do realize that 1600x1200 an 1280x1024 are 4:3 resolutions, yes? The horizontal scaling is going to be of much greater concern than the vertical scaling. Even on a 1920x1200 monitor those games are going to be nearly unplayable thanks to the horizontal stretching. gameguy6700

You know you can turn off horizontal stretching so that the screen displays the image at the correct aspect ratio, yes?

Games that support 1200p support 1080p. Games that don't support 1080p usually dont support 1200p either.

WRONG The Witcher 2 DOES support 16:10. I ran it at 1440x900.
