The advantage of 1200 vs. 1080 is simple: more pixels. You're not losing ANYTHING with 1200 horizontal lines of pixels, you're just gaining desktop space. My monitor and others have an option to not scale to full screen whatever signal comes in, so you can get 1080p with a perfect 1:1 pixel mapping and 16:9 ratio. There is absolutely no need for this kind of thing for the PC. It takes away more than it gives (which is pretty much nothing).
