It’s the period of full HD
1080p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes. The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, 080 horizontal scan lines, while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced). 1080p can be referred to as full HD or full high definition although 1080i is also “Full HD” (1920×1080 pixels). The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels. This creates a frame resolution of 1920×1080, or 2,073,600 pixels in total.
Over the past year, we have really seen a boom in home media appliances. These devices make it easier for you to share the multimedia that is on your computer with the rest of your house or office. In the past, the best devices have been those that can access the internet, a local drive, or a network attached storage device easily so that you can play or view your content in any room of your home. Most enthusiasts choose to build their own do-it-yourself devices or Home Theater Personal Computers.
If there is a 1080P media player at home, I believe that nobody will use computer to see a HD movie. Just like watching movies with DVD player several years ago, several people did not give up DVD so that move the computer to pick a TV to watch movies.
Five years ago, every household has DVD. Now I believe that very few people at home watch movies with DVD, because everyone felt the popularity of high-definition machines. So high-definition has long been the object of our pursuit of the vision. Similar to the convenience of the investigation, I believe that the 1080P media player manufacturers and television manufacturers will give us a lot of parameters. But according to individual estimates, the touch 1080P media player in city still requires much.
We have long been familiar to High-definition. HDD 1080P media player today have replaced DVD. This point has been confirmed. Now every home has high-definition TV. So 1080P media player also is necessary. And the price of the 1080P media player is lower then before. Every body has the ability to buy it.
So the period of DVD is passed. And the period of 1080P full HD media player is coming.

DRM(digital rights management) is a restriction on the use or copying of files, imposed by the copyright owner. For example, songs and videos purchased from the iTunes Music Store have DRM protection and can only be used according to the license agreement.(From google define)
