I've done some googleing/pricewatching/tiger direct-ing, but I can't find any projectors that support 1920x1200 native. I found one that went 1920x1080, which I may end up going with, but has anyone seen/used any 1920x1200 projectors?

Well, AFAIK the highest HDTV quality is 1080p (e.g. 1920x1080) so I highly doubt you'll find any devices that support even higher quality (esp. considering that no current media uses more than that, except for Ultra High Definition).

So my conclusion is - there is no such thing...

My laptop, both monitors at work, and both monitors at home all run naitve at 1920x1200 (16:10). I don't see why a projector would be limited to TV standards, even HDTV. I'm looking for one to use as a normal computer monitor, I don't think it should tie in.

By normal I mean standing next to my WoW character.

The reason is because that is what the vast majority of consumer priced projectors are designed for (HDTV viewing). Currently, no one makes a 1920x1600 projector, although Sony is suppose to be working on one based off of the VPL-VW12HT (which currently runs around $7000 with a native resolution of 1366x768, so who knows how much a 1920x1600 version will be). The closest you can get is 1920x1080 or 1600x1200, but get ready to fork over some serious coin ($15,000-$30,000 on the cheap end, $50,000-$100,000+ for a decent model). You could also go for 2048x1536 if you have a spare $225,000 laying around.
