HD is 1280x720.
So no, 1024x768 cannot be argued that they are HD as well. It's a pixel reduction of 17.1%

Same here.
Heck, you had 4k displays back in 2001 and 1080P displays back in 1995 on the PC.
Back in the late 90's I was limited to 1024x768 as that was the limit I could get with the Voodoo 2 set up I had... Despite owning a 1600x1200 CRT monitor, in retrospect I should have went nVidia TNT.
Today though, because LCD doesn't scale like CRT's did, I am a little more conservative with resolution so I can maintain a clean, crisp, clear image at my native resolution (Currently 2560x1440) without needing a super computer to drive it.
My first "HD TV" though was a 720P, 32" LG TV which cost me over $1,200 AUD back in 2005-2007, the Government paid for it, just sold it to a mate about a month ago for $50.
