If I have a 1080p monitor would it make any difference in games? Or is it just for movies?

1080p is just a resolution of 1920x1080. You could play games at that resolution, and your desktop would be that resolution. As for movies, if you have a 1920x1080 movie, it'll fit your screen.
You can play 1080p movies on lower res screens, it just get stretched off the screen.
Higher resolution on games.

Wait, something's off..
My resolution is 1920x1200, so it's technically more than 1080p?
Soemthing's off because I saw a couple of 1080p monitors at 28", while my monitor is only 24".

1920x1080 is a 16:9 aspect ratio. 1920x1200 is 16:10.
Most monitors are 16:10, and TVs are 16:9, but there are some 16:9 monitors.
1080p vs 1080i go!

Dah, aspect ratios..
[QUOTE=hatchet;16418195]1080p vs 1080i go![/QUOTE]
1080p because it's sharper and has pretty colors.
My flatscreen is 1920x1080, but there's no way i can game at that with my 8800GT. I have to go to a lower res to get playable framerates.
[QUOTE=bigdoggie;16418268]Dah, aspect ratios..[/QUOTE]
Well still, at the end of the day your monitor (like mine) has more pixels than the 1080 resolution, that's probably a good thing. Besides, if you watch some 1080 content, it'll fit, just have black bars which isn't really a problem at all.

1920x1200 or "1200p" because it's just perfect.

I have a 16:9 22" 1080p monitor, it kicks ass!

Really? I played L4D all on high with a playable fps, with my laptop that has a 9600gs and my 9600gt setup plays source all on high/veryhigh at 1080 with 30-60fps

A: you can fit a full 1080p video without downscaling, but it's not a 1080p monitor, a 1080p display is at the most 1080 lines of height (though it can be wider or thinner than 1920 pixels)
B: dot pitch, your monitor has a better dot pitch than those monitors you saw

Yes there is.
Ninja'd
i have a 24" 1920x1200 monitor, but i watch a lot of 1080p content, and play my games at 1920x1080.
16:9 has a wider field of view than 16:10, provided the game does it correctly (the source engine, for example).

What games? I max everything on my 1920x1200 monitor with my 8800GTS 640MB. I just don't use AA.

4320P. I win.
the difference between 1080i and 1080p is that 1080p is actually slower than 1080i. 1080p is used for slower screens (LCDs) whereas 1080i is mainly used in CRTs, because of their high refresh rate. 1080p on these monitors would suffer from flickering.

a flat panel is also often referred to as a flat screen. you just don't refer to ALL flat screens as flat panels.

You mean "1080i on these monitors would suffer from flickering"?
