Is that a miss print on the res? As i find it comical that the first review goes on about how it looks great for Blu-Ray and yet it cant even do 720p...
 
No 720p means 720 vertical lines in progressive, the 1280 bit isn't actually part of it, it's just widely accepted and used as it's 16:9.

For HDTVs themselves 720p can also have different meanings. While you might expect a 720p HDTV to have a resolution of 1280x720, this isn't always the case. For many flat panel 720p HDTVs the actual native resolution is 1024x768.

So..

720x2 would, whilst being extremely fragile, be HD?

What gave you that idea? I wasn't arguing it was HD even though it would be at 1024x768

So you're aware that you're wrong when you say 720p doesn't have to be 1280x720 in order to actually be 720p?

Great, understood.

No I'm right when I say a 720p TV does not need to be 1280x720.
 
Although with 1024x768 you could display the 720 lines it still would not be classed as HD though as it does not have the correct width.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television
1024×768 XGA Typically a PC resolution XGA; also exists as a standardized "HD-Ready" TV on the Plasma display with non-square pixels.

A common native resolution used in HD Ready LCD TV panels is 1366 x 768[11] pixels instead of the ATSC Standard 1280 x 720 pixels. This is due to maximization of manufacturing yield and resolution of VGA, VRAM that comes with a 768 pixel format

My point was that due to one of the reviews raving about how well it displayed Blu-Ray i thought it was a miss print.

I guess it is not.
