Gaming - 720p != 1080p - View Post

720p is just half HD.
But people calling it HD anyways to help sales TV and players.

HD = High Definition

By that very term it has always been HD, perhaps the real problem is they should have clarified 1080p as a different spec.  I don't think it is so much a probelm though as all the dodgy wranglings where you have 1080p TV's that can accept a signal of 1080p but only display in 720p (panels aren't 1920x1080 resolution).  Same with TV's that display at 120HZ and above yet cannot accept input signals above 60Hz.  It's about time they all got together and produced a proper true set of specifications that are in the consumers best interest.
