I always thought that 1080p was 1920 x 1200 but I see some monitors with the exact same thing as you mentioned.
Basically it takes a 1080p signal and scales it down to 1680x945 ...anyone got any information on 1080p 22 inch lcds ive been doing a bit of looking around and there seems to be 1680x1050 monitors and 1080p capable which seems wierd
