Toshiba TV HD 1080P TV

HD Ready 1080p the next generation in picture quality

1080p represents a huge 400% improvement over standard TV with a massive 6.2 million sub pixels onscreen, at a resolution of at least 1920x1080.

Whilst no TV transmissions are planned in 1080p prior to 2012, several next generation entertainment sources such as PS3, Blu-Ray and HD DVD are able to output the highest of high definition pictures.

1080p is the shorthand name for a category of video modes. The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical display 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 pixels 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 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.
