That doesn't really make sense because (1200/10)*16=1920.  If it's indeed
16x10, then only 1920x1200 would come out with the correct aspect.  My
monitor is 16x9 so I use 1280x720.  I would love to use 1920x1080, but
most HDTV monitors can only do that interlaced (the ones that have native
resolutions that high, anyway -- mine is 720p).

How high do the new ones go?
