1080p
Full high definition
1080p is a video display resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels, where the "p" stands for progressive scan (each frame drawn in a single pass).
It became the standard definition of "full HD" or "full high definition" in the late 2000s: The movie streams in 1080p.
Now largely superseded by 4K for premium content, 1080p remains common for streaming, gaming, and broadcast television.
