No Ethomaz. It isn't the same. Lie to yourself all you like... 960 isn't 1080

I work with that and even 1x1080p is 1080p.

"1080p is a set of HDTV high-definition video modes characterized by 1080 horizontal lines of vertical resolution and progressive scan"

1080p is defined by the vertical resolution one... you can say 1920x1080p is a standard in 1080p but even 1x1080p is 1080p even in a odd way.

Wikipedia, which whilst not definitive tends to note the most generally accepted definition, states that: 

Any display device that advertises 1080p typically refers to the ability to accept 1080p signals in native resolution format, which means there are a true 1920 pixels in width and 1080 pixels in height, and the display is not overscanning, underscanning, or reinterpreting the signal to a lower resolution.

Which would pretty resoundingly indicate that no, this is no longer 1080p.  Particularly given that that in so many ways is more of a marketing definition than a technical one!


You are ignoring the fact that the signal from the PS4 to the TV (display device) is actually a 1920x1080p signal.  The native resolution of the game is also 1920x1080.  That is the technical truth.

How they arrive at that native 1920x1080 image is what is different.
