1080p for real or just marketing trick?

[Vista_Nueva]

take these 2 monitors into consideration: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000020%201309821320&Description=widescreen%20lcd%20monitor&Ntk=all&bop=And&Order=PRICE&CompareItemList=N82E16824112006%2CN82E16824112007

one claims it can support 1080p but they both have the same specs. shouldn't the other one be able to do the same?

"Support", in this case, is a marketing term. As 1080p requires 1080 vetical lines of resolution and both of these have only 1050 vertical, NEITHER fully supports 1080p.
