    I know very little about monitors overall but I am looking at 21-23" monitors for my laptop when I am at home. I sometimes see people saying that 1920X1200 is better than 1920X1080, (which seems much more common) because there is more vertical resolution. What exactly would the difference look like between these two? Is there a basic link here that I just have not found yet that would give an overall primer on choosing a monitor. I found a couple of threads, but the discussion was a bit technical and just back and forth, not really informative for someone without a lot of knowledge on the subject. Thanks!
