No, it's right in between 720 and 1080 Native resolution.....
I guess both signals will need scaling....up for 720 and down for 1080....
The 1440 is for horizontal resolution, not vertical....

Are you sure this is a TV and not a monitor?
Note that 1440/900 = 1:1.6 . Traditional HDTVs are 16:9 = 1.78.
So, no matter what the input (HD or SD) it will be scaled.
This "TV" can display both 1080i and 720p but every input will be scaled up.
It may even accept 1080p signals, but then the signal will be scaled down.

Argh! Why are people so purposely vague on this forum? Dude, if you have a specific TV in mind, why not just tell us which one it is and we can give you a specific answer?!
The generic answer is "yes". See Wikipedia link.
