The human eye views in 16x9 (thus "Full HD is 1920x1080p for 16x9 aspect ratio). This is why all our widescreen dvds / bluerays (and tvs) come in this resolution.

Computer monitors switched to a 16x10 resolution so 2 documents could be viewed side by side.

What do you mean by that? I haven't done ANY work on the PC with the 1920x1080 monitor yet, it's been solely used for games. However on my 1920x1200 laptop I know I can see 2 Word documents side by side, or PDFs, depending on the reader, and so on aand so forth. Is it any different on the 1920x1080? I wouldn't think so since both have the same amount of horizontal space.

The extra horizontal space is for your taskbar. 

Do you mean the extra vertical space is for your taskbar?

The only problem I see with that is, what taskbar needs 120 pixels (1200-1080)? That is 10% of the screen.
