Video Tab - Incorrect Resolution Listed

Description

I recently noticed that 1440p videos will be listed as 1080p in VLC's Video tab.
This seems particularly odd to me given the fact that VLC will prove itself wrong when you open the Information menu for one of these video files.

Why on earth is there any inconsistency?

Expected behavior

All videos should be listed as their actual resolution.

Actual behavior

Videos are often listed with resolutions that aren't correct.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Put any 1440p video into VLC's library.
  2. Observe strange behavior.
