Ryan, the typical resolution of 720p for HDTV is 1280 x 720; 1,280 vertical lines and 720 horizontal lines or roughly 921,000 pixels. While we're on the subject, 1080i is a higher HDTV resolution, but because the signal is interlaced, only half of the lines are drawn during each "pass". 1080 resolution is typically 1920 x 1080; 1,920 vertical lines and 1,080 horizontal, or 2.1 million pixels.
The advertised set is about 786,000 pixels and not in a 16:9 or true widescreen format.
