The video in the link posted by Tom Hannen wasn't displayed at that resolution, even when you clicked the "HD" toggle (which changed the amount of lossy compression applied). Perhaps there's a different way to get the higher resolution?
But wait, it can't really be HD... can it? Yes! It's real, true, actual high definition. No tricks. Some other sites (we won't name names) and even a few major media producers have been offering low resolution video as "HD" just because it's slightly higher than the quality typically seen on video sharing web sites, hoping you won't notice. Don't be fooled, Vimeo HD is true 1280×720, up to 24fps.
I guess 720p24 *is* technically a true, actual high definition standard, although I would be very sad to see it widely adopted... :-) (I think that for most *video* material, of actual moving subjects, you'd be better off picking a lower spatial resolution and a higher frame rate. Except for material where the director has deliberately chosen a low frame rate for effect, of course.)
