1920 by 1080
You will not see the black bars if your watching movies made for 16:9 which most movies are these days.

1920x1080 for gaming and movies. 16x9 > 16x10

I agree, have owned both and prefer 16:9 over 16:10. Slightly wider Field of View.

Not true. 1080p is perfectly fine for games. I understand I have a bias, but I'll take the price and performance of 1080p over x1200.

Well, because they're all cheap TN monitors, though LG wants to change that with e-IPS. Why would a TN monitor be expensive? Heck, there are cheap 24" TNs with 1920x1200, the only truly expensive ones are the MVAs/IPSes/PVAs. You always pay for better quality.

This.
Movies that are 1080p aren't always(very few are ) 1920x1080...
They are 1920x800 -> 1920x816 because they add more black bars to the already wide image.
This is a 1080p version since it's 1920*XXXx
120 pixels more doesn't hurt the already large black bars...
The only real 1080p videos are those that have a XXXX*1080 image.
Even though the image is 1600*1080 or 2560*1080.

This is how a 1080p should look like, the image is 1080 pixels in height. Though the taskbar+MPc took more than 120 pixels it's now resized on width instead but it's still 1920x1080.

I'd say GO FOR MORE PIXELS!
That means 1920x1200.
