Well the big advantage of 1200 vertical pixels is you can show 1600x1200 applications without scaling. A few years ago, that really mattered since that was about the max resolution you could get on a 22" tube with .22mm dot pitch without the pixels blurring together, and lots of applications were hard coded for 3:4 resolutions including 1600x1200. I'll still take 1920x1200 any day just for the extra real estate, but I'd be happy to get a 16:9 version for console gaming, or maybe a really nice photo frame, especially since the module is so thin.
