    That's the stock HD+ (1600 by 900 pixels) panel.

    Cool, thanks! Whats the designator for the 1080 and the 1080 3d?

    It also confuses me because in the builder, the 1600x900 screen is called the WideHD+ and the 1920x1080 is called the WideFHD.

    No idea where they got the HDF+ from.

    720p is considered "High Definition" nowadays.. consider that as the baseline "HD"

    Then we have had 1080p, the other higher HD resolution for quite some time. This was labeled as "Full HD" or "FHD".

    Then there is the odd-ball in-between resolution considered 900p. This has been given the label "HD Plus" or "HD+".

    So bottom line:

    XXXX x 720p = HD
    XXXX x 900p = HD+
    XXXX x 1080p = FHD
