1080p
1080p is a high definition television resolution, and typically is the highest resolution in which HDTVs are released. 1080p stands for 1080 lines of video shown through progressive scan. 1080p's literal pixel by pixel resolution equates to a computer monitor displaying at 1920 x 1080, which is higher than most mid-tier computer displays, and larger than most low to mid-end laptops. 1080p is currently a luxury, as content broadcast over digital TV airwaves maxes out at 720p, so devices capable of displaying 1080p content are typically game consoles, Blu-ray and HD-DVD players as well as some limited on-demand cable services.
