Anyone care to explain to me what this means? Is it just sharper image quality or what? Do I need some kind of cable hooked up to view it? What does it apply to, games, movies, everything? This is for LCD computer monitors btw, thanks!
"Full HD 1080P Resolution"

1080p = 1920x1080 which boils down to a 16:9 aspect ratio. older monitors will offer 16:10 at 1920x1200 resolution.
for hd movies(1080p), you won't get black bars compared to 1920x1200 monitors. for games, depends on how narrow of a screen you are comfortable with. i think 16:10 looks better than 16:9. maybe it has to do with the fact that the golden ratio is closer to 1.6 than 1.777...
for general use, i think 1080 vertical lines isn't enough. you'd have trouble viewing a full page at times, such as a word document.

Just wanted to add another note.
Computer LCD manufacturers are now using the term "Full HD 1080P Resolution" because resolutions 1080p or higher were only exclusive to monitors with sizes of 24" and up.
Some computer LCD's are transitioning to 16:9 aspect ratio and monitors as small as 22" are now sporting 1920x1080 (1080p). So because of these two criteria, we are now seeing the common tagline "Full HD 1080P resolution"
I still prefer 16:10 because I don't really watch that many movies on my LCD and the reason why computer LCD's are 16:10 instead of 16:9 is because that 16:10 is better for viewing web/page docs.
Not getting black bars on a 16:9 is untrue. There may be some movies where there are no black bars, but there are films that are shot even wider than 16:9.

I specifically said hd movies (16:9). Of course some movies are 2.35:1. There was a tv coming out that's actually 2.35:1 for those extra-wide movies. Philips I think? Anyway, some movies are also done in 1.85, which is close enough to 16:9 that that doesn't matter and they'll probably be cropped to 16:9 for the end consumer anyway.
