Does anyone know what kind of size would fit 1920x1080? A 22" is perfect for 1680x1050 and a 24" is perfect for 1920x1200 so im guessing it's 23" or 23.6"? What size would perfectly fit 1920x1080?

See what you did there was post a question but kept half of the details in your head.
Picture quality and thus screen size for a given resolution is very subjective.
720p is a crap resolution for a 40" TV thats why it looks crap.
If your going to sit slap bang in front of a monitor then you want it to be a 22" monitor in my opinion. The screen size is actually 21.5 but the resulted sharpness of picture is worth loosing the real estate over. Dot pitch is what your talking about when you mention Pixel size. A 40" tv @ 720 p must look like a blown up low res screen shot.

1080p screens come in all the sizes you mentioned, personally I'd go for a 24" or the biggest you can afford. There are 24" 1080p monitors too the resolution does not dictate the screen size so no matter what the size if the native resolution is 1080p then you are good to go. So the answer is they would all fit 1920X1080 perfectly, (that is if that is what the native resolution of the screen is to begin with)

A lot of this is personal preference. I personally had a 24" 1920x1200 monitor and I found reading text, while browsing, was difficult. I always would set text size to about 120%. I now have a 120hz, 27" monitor @ 1080p, and now I usually set the text size when browsing the web, to 105%-110%, but for the most part, the size of icons and text is a lot closer to good at 27" for a 1080p monitor.

For gaming, everything is still very crisp. Keep in mind, that what ever size you pick, after a week, it'll feel completely natural.

Thanks guys... BUT you guys are wrong, More Pixel/Bigger monitor/T.V. well make things bigger which will cause curved or seeing little centermeter squares.. I got a 720P T.V. and is around 40" and i can see little colored squares in 7 feet which is bad because of quality... I want a perfect monitor but IDK what size is perfect for 1920x1080... -_-... BUt oh well, i'll just get a 23"-23.11" for 1920x1080...
