The resolution for 1080P is 1900X1080. So the answer to your question is no methinks. Sorry.

There is no monitor which is 1080p. If you want that, get a 1080p HDTV, but it won't work well for a monitor.

That is a definite NO.

If your monitors resolution is only 1440 x 900 how could it possibly run 1920 x 1200??

The most you will get out of a 19 wide res. like yours will be 720p.

As for monitors that run 1080p you will have to get something in 24, 26, or 30 inches.

Above that you would have to get HDTV's.

really so my monitor of 1920 x 1200 aint 1080P. you sure about that.

unless you can prove otherwise i don't think games use inter lacing.

Well, 1080p = 1920x1080.... so no, your monitor "ain't 1080p", but I would imagine you could display 1080p with only small black bars.

I don't see interlacing as an issue. Media were designed to display on television formats... 480, 720, 1080. Computer monitors rescale in one form or another to accommodate media inputs.

oh so you meant a 16:9 format. that is nitpicking as my monitor can still display the full resolution and indeed then some albeit 20 pixels.

could you please be more clear as i thought you meant it couldn't do 1080progressively but would be able to do 1080interlaced.

the difference is 10 pixels below and above so it is hardly a big deal. my monitor is still capable of 1080p so your point IMO is moot.

I'd never said "interlaced"... I'd never even thought it. It was all in your mind. You've got such a preconceived notion in your brain that you don't see the point, so I'm finished with this topic.
