if it says.....
 
" 1,049,088 pixels (1366 x 768)"
 
does that mean it is 720p or 1050p? i am confuse cause 1366 x 768 have always been 720p..... but then it says 1,049,088 makes me suspect it is 1050p.....

so u saying its 720p? the 68 they dont seems to count cause every 720p i see it always is 1366 x 768... and they jus forget the 68 and be 720p.
 
so if u says its 768p then it is 720p... u saying its 720p. but what about the 1,049,088? what the fuck is that? why they say that? yet saying 1366 x 768...... i dont get it. still not sure if this is 720p or 1050p.

1366 x (times) 768 =  1,049,088 pixels.  In other words, the screen is 1366 pixels wide and 768 pixels tall. Multiply those two numbers to get the total number of pixels that the screen displays.
 
768 is 720p in the 16:10 aspect ratio (edit: aspect ratio part of that is wrong. It's actually still 16:9... complicated stuff). Basically, yes, it's 720p.
 
In 720p, the 720 refers to how many pixels wide the screen is, and the p refers to the fact that the picture is progressive-scan, meaning every line is drawn (as opposed to interlaced, where only every other line is drawn, alternating every refresh to give the appearance of a whole picture).

@AndrewB: What he said...
 
The 480/720/1080 is just a reference to the number of horizontal lines in the picture.

The number in a screen resolution (e.g. 720p) refers to the number of horizontal scanlines. So in the case of a 1366 x 768 display, it's technically 768p. Many modern displays are 1366 x 768 instead of 1280 x 720 because for some reason beyond my comprehension - it is cheaper to manufacture 1366 x 768 displays than 1280 x 720 displays. I don't know why, but apparently that is the case.
