Weird question about monitor, 1080p

so my monitor is 23'' and 1080p

I went to play the sims 3, maxed out everything, still the graphics looked ugly... the monitor was set to 1080 then I changed it to 1920 x 1200 and the graphics looked MUCH BETTER !!

how can my monitor run that resolution if it's a native 1080

Does this mean if I set any game to 1920 1200, I can see a huge difference in graphics ?

It would of course be helpful to know the make/model of the monitor.

Im gonna laugh if its a native 1200p monitor.

If you can select 1200p and you didn't create a custom resolution, then your monitor is 1200p (especially considering you see a visual gain from 16x10).

If this is true, then you are an idiot...

no no my monitor is 1080p, pretty sure

it's an asus

Make -and- model, please. Asus makes a ton of different monitors so "Asus" doesn't really narrow it down.

It's a 1920 x 1080p monitor alright, might need to see if Ilyama have been as nice to me as Asus are to you ;)

That's a 24" screen. not 23" btw.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "looks ugly"? Also, what connection type are you using?
