1080p means 1080 lines progressively scanned, 1280 x 1080 (or 1440 x 1080 , etc) is also a very high resolution despite not being FullHD.
IMO on a small to average sized TV 768 progressively scanned lines is plenty unless you have eagle eyes.
I would like to mention Super Stardust HD, a very impressive 1080p, 60 FPS game!
