That is 900p, or 1444x900 @ 60Hz (p=60Hz, i=30Hz)

It's kinda obvious if you even GLANCE at the picture.

 

That's also neither. 1080p is 1920x1080, 720p is 1280x720.

It's 1440x900

No such a thing as 900p. You can't just take vertical pixels and add p to it. 1080p and 720p are standards set for movies. The p stands for progressive scan

1080p means 1920x1080. 720p means 1280x720. You have neither.

Actually 900p would be 1600x900 - a 16:9 aspect ratio. 

 

To answer your question, your monitor is neither, and in terms of pixel count, sits somewhere in the middle, between 720p (1280x720) and 1080p (1920x1080)
