One might say that HDTV is 720P and 1080i , and then Full HDTV is 1080P. <><> And then one might get in to , i = interlaced scanning , and P = progressive scanning. And then one might know that i- interlaced scan lines do not quite match up and what this does is , have you ever noticed that stripes in the picture striped ties and striped shirts have a rainbow effect , and if the tv camera is moved up and down or down and up , the picture has a wavy effect , that's i-interlaced scanning. <><> Progressive scanning will have little or none of this. <><> So any way , one might call it a marketing thing. <><> Humans like the WOW! factor. Like --> WOW!!!!! it's FULL HDTV , the eyes light up , the nostrils flare open , the chest puffs out , and then the person relaxes with a satisfied feeling. <><> So here is the truth as I see it , The Digital Pictures of 480i and 480P <--low definition and 720P , 1080i , 1080P <--high definition are nice clear pictures , no ghost , no bad colors , no drifting lines , no snow that analog tv has. <><> Digital TV has a nice clear picture picture and I like that.
The original answer is correct in that it is mostly marketing but it has come to symbolize the difference between 720p/1080i vs. 1080p. Many Blu-ray discs, PS3 and Xbox360 games as well as Televisions will boast Full HD. It simply means it has the capability of outputting 1080p.

HDTV comes in a variety of forms. The most common formats are 720p, 1080i and 1080p. All are HD and all are full HD. With the less common standards there are around 25 different HD formats. There are several other formats that are also categorised as HD but are not seen in broadcast television. 1035i for example was used briefly in Europe but has fallen by the way side. The term "full HD" is a marketing term, not a technical term and has no specific definition.
