Correction: 24" has slightly bigger vertical resolution than full HD:

24" = 1920x1200
20" = 1680x1050

1080p (full HD) = 1920x1080
720p = 1280x720

720p = 1280x720

so in that case, the 20inch has 720p+
and the 24inch has 1080p-full hd
right?
 
Didn't know that. Glad I went for the 24", I love the screen. Just need the wife to stop touching the screen/glass. I swear all girls do that, no offense.

i know!...why do chicks have to actually touch the screen when they point at something??
 
It's got more pixels vertically than 1080p because 1080p is a 16:9 aspect ratio.

The Mac's have a 16:10. Those extra pixels are necessary to show true 1920x1080.
