If your running a monitor that has a recommended resolution of 1920x1200, if you set it down to 1920x1080 will the quality be reduced? Since your reducing it from its native quality

No, as long as you set Aspect Ratio = On in the monitor's menu. It may be named differently in various brands.

let me just make myself clear, because i had another whole thread and it was soo confusing, if you have a 1920x1200 recommended resolution monitor, and set it to 1920x1080 res., will it have lower quality than a monitor that has a recommended resolution of 1920x1080?

Thanks

Not for that small a change no.

The bigger the change in resolution the bigger the noticable difference, although in saying that I ain't sure my own 1:1 scaling is working properly. Going to have to play around with the bugger.
