1920 x 1080 -- by far the best and "new standard" for HD widescreens -> ever seen that all those HQ HD bluray rips say "1080p" ?
btw you made the wrong choice of screen but nvm, but so did 99.99% of ppl here. You see there are 3 types of LCD panel technology:
- TN (what all you noobs buy, great response rate but only 6bit colour rendition with crappy "dithering" to make up for it + small viewing angles (notice the scrreen looks different when looking from the side?)
- PVA (the still affordable but rare tech, 8bit full colours, a decent response rate of as low as 8ms, great contrast ratio, great viewing angles i.e. looks same from most angles)
- IPS (way too expensive but amazing screens)
Apple (piece of shit fuck) is the only company to provide a high end screen with TN panel instead of IPS.. because as usual they presume correctly that their consumer market is retarded.
The greatest overall screen in our price range is the Samsung SyncMaster F2380M which is one of the only ones with PVA panel for that price. And response rate of PVA is quicker than TN even at the same number (so 8ms TN is different to 8ms PVA). http://www.digitalversus.com/article-357-6293-36.html
If you want to know more about how high end panel tech differs check a nice paper entitled "Transmitted Light Enhancement of Electric-Field-Controlled Multidomain Vertically Aligned Liquid Crystal Displays Using Circular Polarizers and a Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Film" hehe ;)
Even quite expensive monitors with IPS-panels have their problems. When it comes to buying TFTs there are always compromises to be made. :/
btw 1920x1080 may be useful for those watching a lot of movies, but I personally would miss the lost vertical pixels compared to a 1920x1200 screen. Who cares about the black bars, many movies have a 2,35:1 AR anyway :D
Plus there are only few monitors that can display full HD @ 24Hz.

costumweight 1680
costumheight 1050 but looks ugly
720p (1280x720) is already HD...
not full hd but still hd
seta r_customheight "1050"
seta r_customwidth "1680"
seta r_displayrefresh "60"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta cg_fov "110"
is about the best I got mine with seta com_maxfps "125" of course ;) you get used to it lol
it's best only if your hardware is capable of supporting that kind of resolution
and why did he make a wrong choice? TN is enough for needs of those 99.99%

Forget what everyone else said, they have no idea :)
On my 22" everything else except 1680x1050 looks weird
