YouTube - dimensions different from resolution

Ok I thought so. If you multiple the 1760 and 990 by that number 1.0909 you get 1920 by 1080. I'm not sure why its showing it in that format but it is in 1080p. Sometimes in mathematics the multiplication sign is replaced by *.  Hopefully that answers everything

Hi, guys! :D
So few weeks ago, when out of curiosity I used the "Stats for Nerds" YouTube video player function, I noticed something, but I researched it just few minutes ago.
It clearly showed that the video was =/>1080p, which is good, but the dimensions (the resolution that the video is actually played at) is 990p no matter the video resolution.
It happens on both of my monitors - one is 1080p TV, and the second is 1080p Ultrawide.
Is it normal? Is it possible to fix?

Thanks in advance! :)
Thomas

In fullscreen it's 990p and in normal it's 480p :\ I'm just curious whether that's considered normal or I'm the only one who has this problem.

Yup. If it helps it's 1760x990 * 1,09

erm where has that 1.09 come from?
