720p is HD, though

1080p is FHD (Full HD)

1440p is QHD (Quad HD)

    The fact 720p was ever considered HD is a crime

    Given we had 576 lines in Europe, rather than the American 480, all it did was confuse matters when they made 1080i/p available at the same time and call it all HD. Salt in the wound to retroactively call progressive scan SD, EDTV when that's basically what they should have called 720p

    Oh and the HD-capable Vs HD-Ready™️ Vs actual full (aka real) HD nonsense still has me irked

    Yes I'm shouting at clouds
