The pointer moves 1 pixel for each count the mouse sends (at the default WPS), and when you lower the resolution the pixels gets bigger resulting in the pointer moving faster across the monitor.

How big is a pixel for 1080p?

Does that mean if for example I used 1280x720 (16:9 stretched) the sensitivity will be different to native 1920x1080 although they have the same aspect ratio?

For the pointer yes, for sensitivity in games typically no, as they rely on how many degrees you turn and are not related to your resolution. There are a few exceptions though, where the game is directly affected by the resolution.

Are the pixel size of h&v different because there is no aspect ratio of 1:1?

1920x1080=2073600
but in game it is different

The total pixels you view in a game is a bit complicated to calculate because they stretch more and more towards the edges, the formula I gave you earlier was the total counts for a 360 rotation, not what you see.

When you stretch one aspect ratio to fit another you will also get a different horizontal and vertical sensitivity.

what is the differences between 1728x1080 and 1920x1080 (native)?
