Take the 2-minute tour ×  A majority of high end wide-screen
monitors (16:9) that are titled as "Full HD" have a native
resolution of 1920 x 1080 (i.e. 1080p)  But there are a select
few "Full HD" monitors that have a slightly higher resolution.
i.e. this Dell 23" boasting a 2048 x 1152 resolution.  So is
this higher resolution better?  Will a monitor with a higher
native resolution work well being set at 1920 x 1080?
