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, 1080p is a well defined standard that refers to a resolution of 1920x1080 ...

Just because you're displaying a progressive scan image with 1080 lines of resolution does not mean that you're displaying 1080p; much like if someone decided to display an image at 440x720 on the Wii would not mean that the Wii was displaying a 720p image.

Actually...He is right about 1080p being ANY progressive signal with any horizontal resolution and 1080 pixels high.

But obviously he's just trying to throw a spanner in the works.

If I were to call MikeB a "douchebag". I would not in my mind think he is one...He is just being rather pedantic and patronising.

However your post is right in the "real world". MikeB knows this, he's just being a troll.
