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.

 

http://hometheater.about.com/od/hometheaterglossary/g/1080pdef.htm

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.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p

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).

 

Wow, your only retort is the glossary on a consumer-oriented website like about.com? Hey look they have an article about surviving the DTV transition with coupons for free DTV decoders, yippeee! Meanwhile real video sites talk about the costs of running a multiplexed DTV signal fubaring the cost structure of smaller networks.

Look what you and the other amateurs are missing is that 1080 lines of square pixels on a 16:9 ratio relates to 1920x1080 total pixels.

 

 

Are you saying about.com's definition on 1080p is wrong?

If that's what you mean you should e-mail them to correct them and update the wiki page.

You know it's confusing.
