The CEA document is indeed confusing. Henning and Richard misinterpreted the fact of what is an hd television versus what is an hd signal. If you go by the video standard there is no other resolution with 720 vertical lines other than 1280x720. Its name is 720p the same way as VGA names 640x480 which is not 480p ( 720x480 ). VESA standards are for a different purpose and have nothing to do with HD ( a marketing term with no white paper backing it ). Read my post on the topic at theaterathome.blogspot.com.
