1900x1200 vs 1900x1080 (Is there a noticeable difference?)

[Caustic_Drool]

During the Cyber Monday sale, I am planning to purchase a new monitor.

How visually appealing is (1200 p) compared to (1080 p)?

How much of an impact does it have on fps?
One GTX 970 (Example: [Battlefield 4 Ultra settings 1080p 85-100fps] BF4 Ultra 1200p ?__? fps

Also can I have a rough estimate of how future proof a GTX 970 is if I were to use 1200p

((I do not want a 1440p monitor due to my budget and fear of future games bombing me))

Thank you for your time and responses!

Most games I know do not support 1920 x 1200 because it is a 16:10 resolution as opposed to a 1920 x 1080 16:9 resolution.

They will support lower 16:10 resolution such as 1280 x 1024 or 1024 x 760 but 120 x 1200 is a niche resolution since the market started going into the 16:9 for media purposes and not office work. I personally like the 16:10 resolution monitors due to the more vertical space but the price tag for a 16:10 vs a 16:9 monitor of the same exact size is sometimes a few hundred dollars.


The best 1920 x 1200 monitor I ever used was the NEC EA244WMi-BK Black

Of course it came with a $400 price tag but you get what you pay for:
24" 6ms
HDMI / DVI/Display Port / DVI / VGA
IPS Panel
built in speakers {if that's your thing}

Get the 1200 while you can and go with an IPS pannel

Your question could also have been stated as "Which looks better, 16:10 ratio or 16:9 ratio?"

The Greeks answered this forever ago. They called it the golden ratio, also known as phi. Aesthetically, the golden ratio is a perfect 1.62. So, let's convert both ratios to a decimal point number and see which is closest to perfect. 16:10 --> 1.60, 16:9 --> 1.78. The 1200 is the closest.

I use both sizes. Although I prefer 1080 for watching TV, 1200 feels more balanced for most other uses. 1200 is becoming more rare. I'd get it while you can.

Hmm I guess I could have stated that, but I lacked the knowledge before you stated the aspect ratio haha

Would you happen to know if a 1900x1200 monitor could use the 1900x1080 setting if a game does not provide the 1200 setting? Or do aspect ratios strictly use a different set of resolutions?

Thank you again if you respond!
