HD resolutions, just confirming.

Hi guys,

I did a search but can't find an answer - on here and google. I do suck at searching skills though

My question is this;
I had a crappy brand 32" hd tv for a few months, it was £299 so I thought 'bargain!'.
The black border at the top starting bleeding into the picture a few days ago so I took it back and got a refund luckily, then went and bought a *GOOD* tv lol, more importantly it wasn't cheap so therefore it's way better than the previous one.
It's a samsung 32lcdr8, and what I want to know is what resolution would be defined as HD? I've always used a MS VGA AV cable and on the crappy LCD tv (while it was working) allowed me to output at 1280x720 - this was 720p I was guessing.
But my samsung won't allow me to output at that res, instead it'll allow me a maximum of 1360x768. It's one step from 1080p, and it's a higher res than 1280x720 so is it still HD?
The picture quality is alot sharper than the lower res' (obviously!) so I was just thinking I could get a little clarification from you guys

Thanks for any replies!
Antony
