1080p

1080p refers to the full high definition resolution. The number 1080 means there are 1080 lines of color going from left to right in each picture on the screen. The p means progressive scan (every picture has all the lines every time). 1080p is mostly a 1920x1080p (16:9) widescreen image, but a  1440x1080p (4:3) narrow image is also a full high definition resolution.
