Maximum video out resolution of iPad Mini?

I'm developing an iPad app that can employ an external monitor. When I plug my iPad 3 into my external monitor, I get back a list of resolutions from the external UIScreen object that includes 1920x1080.

When I do the same with my iPad mini, the max resolution I get back is 1600x900.

This would make me think the iPad mini doesn't support full HD external video, but the Apple specs say this:

Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 1080p through Lightning Digital AV Adapter and Lightning to VGA Adapter (adapters sold separately)

...which seems pretty unambiguous that it should support full HD.

Does anyone know what's going on here?

Thanks!

TV resolution can be set in Settings>General>TV Out.

The max resolution shown in that menu is your iPhone or iPad's screen resolution.

The iPad mini does not HAVE the resolution for 1080p (it has 1024x768 screen resolution while 1080p is 1920x1080 as you mentioned), hence, mirroring does not make sense.

Video playback, on the other hand, should work.
