One of the reasons why I went with an Asus monitor over a slightly
cheaper Dell with the same 24" 1920x1200 IPS panel was the Asus gave
me a choice of options (1:1 pixel mapping, 4:3, or stretch to fill the
entire 16:10 screen) while the Dell only stretched.  While I could work
around that on my PC since the display drivers could do the resolution
conversion instead, when using it to watch Blu-Rays on my PlayStation
3 I would've gotten 16:9 video stretched to 16:10 on the Dell.
