If all of this stuff 1080p 720p It has confused here’s a quick refresher on what these terms mean refer: the 1080 and 720 points to resolutions of 1920 x 1080 1280 x 720 respectively. The “p” designation refers to how the image is drawn on your screen, the “p” stands for progressive. This means that given an image on your screen from top to bottom, line by line. The other term is “i” stands for interlaced. Interlaced video is every other line (), the odd lines, then fills the rest of the image (the straight lines).
