Now, I'm thinking, holy shit a 1920x1200 monitor for $150! WHAT AN EFFING DEAL! Turns out full hd means that it's just 1920x1080 at best. So what gives, that's most definitely not the best consumer resolution, so how is is HD? If that was the FULL HD then wtf is a 1920x1200 display? GODLIKE HD?

Actually "Full HD" Is in fact 1920x1080 progressive scan. This is the res blu ray and etc run in. Also, its a perfectly good res, I run in fullHD res on my 32" monitor and it looks perfect. Higher res is a waste of GPU power at this point, your picture is not going to look a ton sharper. 1920x 1080 and x1200 are just different aspect ratios. 16:9 and 16:10 , 16:9 is good for native HD video like blu ray, 16:10... not sure how it came about to be honest though most modern game engines support both aspect ratios.
