"The Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 uses a glossy 15.6-inch Samsung SEC4252 1366x768 display"
Lenovo.com and other review sites.
While I can play 1080 content this model does not have a 1080 line display so I bet a new user could be confused about 1080 playback verses the display resolution. Again, the native resolution is best at 1366x768.
As we can't change the LCD in this model, it's best you return it if you demand a 1080 display.

i have lenovo z580 laptop with windows8. Initially when i purchased it, i remember that it had resolution of 1920*1080 working. But since a week i notice that the screen resolution has down graded to 1366*768 and am unable to set it back to 1920*1080, as the screen resolution slider does not show up that option at all. Pls help me in fixing this.
Thanks
