(like what your blu ray puts out) are the ones with at least 1920 X 1080 resolution. With very few exceptions, the monitor will have to be at least a 21.5". Some manufactures like Sceptre have 1080p as part of their part number but in reality the resolution is 1680 X 1050. The second number has to be at least 1080 to show true 1080p images. Your monitor is probably a 1920 x 1200 (not 1900 x 1200) so it can easily disply a 1080p source beautifully. Notice though, that your video card has to be able to support the 1920 x 1080 resolution. If your video card can't do 1920 x 1080 resolution then you won't get the full benfit of your blu ray. If your monitor is like mine and your video card is set to 1920 x 1200 then the 1080p will show fine, it just won't fill the screen. If you can, set your video card to 1920 x 1080 to watch 1080p movies or game consoles and put it back to 1920 x 1200 for regular computer use. The bottom line in your situation is, if your video card can do 1920 x 1200 or 1900 x 1080 then you should get an excellent, full 1080p viewing experience.
