@kanariya: How about these facts:

1- By some definitions it's 1080p, by some it's not.
2- It gets upscaled if you have a 1080p TV (hence it doesn't run at the native resolution of a 1080p TV).

 

Good luck with him, NJ5. Maybe you'll have more luck than I had.

But since you still attempt to reason with you-know-who, your patience is greater than mine =)

 

Well, you posted the ITU standard that you personally have.

These are what I found that what can be called 1080p by it's definition.

Definition: 1080p represents 1,080 lines of resolution scanned sequentially. In other words, all lines are scanned in progressively, providing the most detailed high definition video image that is currently available to consumers.

1080p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes. The number "1080" represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution (1080 horizontal scan lines),[1] while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced).
