Guessing we could think of it as a more glorious form of HDV? ;-)

Chris, I'm not sure what that means in the this case, but it sounds very pretty. :-)

Anyway, I decided to ask a higher authority, so I put the following question to ChatGPT, and this is the (unedited) answer I got:

Question: "Is 1440x1080 considered Full HD video?"

Answer: "No, 1440x1080 is not considered Full HD. Full HD (FHD) resolution is defined as 1920x1080 pixels, with an aspect ratio of 16:9. 1440x1080 has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is narrower than Full HD. This resolution is often associated with older cameras or certain recording formats, like DVCPRO HD or HDV, that supported non-square pixels (anamorphic) to achieve widescreen output. If displayed with square pixels, it will appear as a standard 4:3 frame. If stretched anamorphically, it can be adapted to a widescreen 16:9 format but is still not technically Full HD."

There you go. That's the final word because you can't argue with AI because it is never wrong. :-)
