Can someoen explain this?

I'm reading of people saying they play in full 1080...ok I'm out of the loop a bit on screens etc. I play on 1680*1050 it isn't a HD monitor....if I was to get a new screen, how would I force games to play on 1080 as people say? Is it somethign the screen and graphics card will do automatically?

You would change the resolution in windows and in game the resolution is 1920x1080.

Most new screens are 16:9 and so the native resolution would be 1920x1080.

1680x1050 and 1920x1200 are both 16:10 resolutions.
