What is 1080p?
Answer:
1080p is the shorthand name for a category of video modes. The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution,[1] while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. 1080p is considered an HDTV video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal (display) resolution of 1920 dots across and a frame resolution of 1920 × 1080 or exactly 2,073,600 pixels. The frame rate in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter p (such as 1080p30, meaning 30 frames per second).
1080p is sometimes referred to in marketing materials as "True High-Definition" or "Full High-Definition". Although 2K/4K digital cinema technology is commercially available, and ultra-high definition video is in the research phase, 1080p and 1080i are currently the highest-resolution formats widely used for broadcasting and consumer distribution of video content.
1080p is what the top of the line flat panel screens highest resolution is. If you have the money definitely go with a 1080p plasma or LCD as this will not be outdated for the next 5 years. If you don't have much money to spend then I would recommend you go with a flat panel with at least 720p resolution.
