You meant 1360x768? It means the HDTV supports PC resolution. You can plug it to a PC monitor, it does not mean it isn't true HDTV. If it says that it supports 1360x768 resolution, it means that basically the HDTV supports 720p minimum. The specs don't always tell you at the store, you have to research it in detail. 1080i doesn't mean it is isn't true 1920x1080. It shows 540 lines at a time so that's why it doesn't support full 1920x1080 like in 1080p HDTV sets. Most HDTVs will say it's a 1080p display. If it doesn't say it's a 1080p display, it's more likely it will say 1360x768 to support PC resolution besides it does 720p minimum.
