1600x1200 is 1.92mp, while 1920x1080 is 2.07mp. Technically more pixels, but juuust barely. For quite a few years my setup was a 1080p panel next to an aged ColorSync 20" and the difference was mostly the falloff in the corners of the CRT. (And the incredible weight of the CRT, of course. 78 pounds!)

Late to respond, but 1600 x 1200 was the default resolution on my Trinitron. I believe the max preset resolution was 2048 x 1536 @ 75hz. So it was able to display 1920 x 1080 letterboxed just fine. I wish I never gave it away, but I sure don't miss moving it!
