Why is HD 1080p? | Nostalgia Nerd

Support the channel at   / nostalgianerd   / Grab my book (affiliate) https://nnerd.me/GadgetsGizmos ~ Screen resolutions have changed a lot over the years. We started out with a set number of horiztonal lines with early television, before jumping to digital and onto HD, but why oh why is HD 1080p? Why is that the resolution we settled for on both TV and computer?
