They will not run at 1080p. Will get scaled down for your monitor resolution. So you will get non-full HD.

@NainO

Only a monitor which has supports Full HD i.e.1080p written on the box of the product or on the product or mentioned elsewhere will support resolutions upto 1920 x 1080.
In other words if you have a monitor with maximum resolution of 1600x900 then it is not capable of displaying full HD but it will downscale the videos to 1600x900 to run them..

It'll be scaled down.. But the video quailty will still be awesome assuming ur aspect ratio is 16:9
