1600x1200 uses a different aspect ratio to 1920x1080, so you'll have black bars on the screen.
As for recommendations, the BenQ XL2411Z is my usual choice but it depends on your budget.
I know it has a different aspect ratio, but I will be playing a bunch of older games, and was curios to know if the high refresh rate would be available at the lower resolution.
The monitor seems good though, I'll look into purchasing it.
