"The F38310 is a widescreen CRT HDTV with a digital resolution of 1,280 by 1,080 and a dot pitch of 0.78 millimeters." source

Some HDTV sets 1280 x 1080:

Funny. You quoted my own TV to me. Cute.

Still, having a hard time finding 1080p mentioned anywhere.

1080i and 1080p are similar families of resolutions, only one are resolutions scanned progressively and the others are being displayed interlaced, like is the case with 480i/p family resolutions. Progressively scanned is better though.

Blu-Ray movie content and FullHD TVs all support 1920 x 1080 as a minimal standard, so that's probably the core of the confusion here. There is no such standard for games like there is for Blu-Ray movies, but anything below 720p is not rendering in a high definition resolution (many early 360 games, a few multiplatform games like COD4 on both platforms and Halo 3).
