The resolution is 1280 x 800, so wouldn't it support 720p?

On a larger 23/23/24" monitor, it would also support 1080

The 13.3" Macbook (Pro) can scale to 720p, but it will not do it natively. A native 720p monitor/television will look significantly better while displaying 720p signals.

HD movies, as in 1080p Blu-ray movies? How do you plan to play them on the Macbook Pro?

In general, Blu-ray scales down to lower resolutions. It is not going to be the best display, but whether or not it is acceptable is a matter of opinion. I do not mind watching a standard definition DVD upscaled. Downscaled HD movies are less pleasing to my eyes.
 
720 is 1280x720,

So yes at 720, full 1080, nope. that's 1920x1080

I think all itunes HD is 720, not full 1080i anyway.

Most 720p TVs are 1366x768 anyways.

Why do you jump straight to bluray when someone mentions HD content?:rolleyes:
 
LOL PHAIL.

1366 x 768 is 1080i, not 720p

720p is 1280x720


Call it "PHAIL!" or "FAIL!" Either way your still hopelessly wrong.

1080i is a high-definition television (HDTV) video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels and a frame resolution of 1920 × 1080 or about 2.07 million pixels.

The actual resolution for 1080i isn't 1366 x 768, as you've specified. It is actually 1920 by 1080. Further more, the only difference between the 1080i and 1080p is the scan rate; "i" = interlaced scan (flickers), "p" = progressive scan (no flickr)
