I think MikeB is right. 1080p was never officially designated as being 1920x1080. Of course, this causes a ton of confusion, and which is why they have created designations like HD Ready 1080p TVs (must be 1920x1080, must support HDCP, etc). And that's why the marketing buzzword FullHD was created, to separate 1920x1080 from other 1080p TVs. Early DLP 1080p TVs were 1280x1080.
