I honestly don't even know why PC monitors even use the 720p, or 1080p branding other than trying to get sales using HD buzz words. PC monitors have had greater than HD resolutions even before they went wide screen. IMO, buying a 1080p monitor is almost a downgrade. Nowadays especially when you can buy monitors with 2560x1600 monitors or 2048x1152.
Either way, I am glad you are happy with your 1920x1080 res monitor.

1080p is a downgrade yes, 16x10 > 16x9. there shouldn't be a reason to not get a 1920x1200 monitor as a bare minimum PC display.

16:10 is better than 16:9? Human eyes have much wider horizontal peripheral vision than they do vertical. Wider screens are better.

not so with a computer monitor, lesser room to work with, I'm running dual 24s when I'm doing regular work and only use the HDTV when I'm doing full screen gaming(which is not often since I broadcast it) or console gaming.
