What is 1920x1200?

720p and 1080p are television standards that unfortunately happen to have also become common on PCs.

1920x1200 is WUXGA.
1400x900 doesn’t really have a name (as far as I know).
 
Well in terms of televisions, they are 720p and 1080p based on the height, because I think those are mainly the two resolutions within those ranges, I'm sure you can get 2160p televisions (be bloody expensive). But how could that possibly apply to monitors because there are so many different resolution monitors capable of a variety of resolutions.

Another question: are there monitors capable of displaying all aspect ratios?

why not? 'P' just means progress scan, which every monitor is, and the number is just the vertical resolution. lcds/plasmas/oleds ect have fixed resolutions and any other resolutions that a monitor supports will be a result of software scaling.

Then a monitor with a native of 1980x1200 isn't 1080p. :p

That is all I was asking with this topic, because I'm wondering how much of a plonker I'd look if somebody for example asked me my monitor resolution and I answered '1200p'.

:D
 
If you’re talking about computers quote actual resolutions.

If you’re talking about television you can safely stick to 720p, 1080i, 1080p, etc. They’re just marketing terms that should stay in that domain.

My monitors are 1080p capable because they’ll display a 1080p input signal at its native resolution. The fact that they are actually 1920 x 1200 (16:10 vs. 16:9) is more-or-less irrelevant.

No, it isn't. it's 1200p and if it has it's own scaler built it, it supports 1080p as well.

:D

If they don't understand why, then they are the plonker :p
