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!

 

 No, you are wrong although not technically. In sentiment and practice you are very wrong.

Sure 1080p just means 1080 pixels wide progressive signal...So of course that could be 1x1080 = 1080p.

But when we talk in the context of "HD", we are always referring to 1920x1080p = THE standard for "High Defenition".

Although what you say IS true, it has no place here.

When smeone wants to know if a game is "1080p" they mean is the signal output to the display device at 1920x1080. They DON'T mean is it output at 1440x1080.

(did you not know this?)
