I did some Bestbuy.com searching for giggles. Only one I found that says 1080p but is not 1920 x 1080 is

It's resolution is actually 1920x1200, which is probably why it costs 33,000 dollars.

Doesn't prove Mike right, but I just thought I'd share what I found ^^;;

Heh, nice find. I suspect that they advertise that as 1080p just because it's a well-known marketing term and because technically, the television can do that resolution (and better).

edit: The reason for that resolution is that it is actually 16:10, the format used for computer monitors.

Most 720p (HD Ready) advertised TVs have a slightly higher native resolution. Content is being up- or downscaled by a scalar chip to the TV's native resolution, like 1366×768.
