1440p is the shorthand name for a family of video display resolutions. The p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced. The 1440 denotes a vertical resolution of 1440 pixels, double the vertical resolution of 720p.
In autumn 2006, Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO) announced a 47" 1440p LCD panel to be released in Q2 2007; the panel was planned to finally debut at FPD International 2008 in a form on autostereoscopic 3D display.
