^Correct, Dolby True HD is an official standard, but using "True HD" or "Full HD" to describe resolutions is just marketing/sales fluff.

It's not marketing fluff -- it's just wrong.  I was recently watching a basketball game on TNT, and they had a short commercial for themselves where they advertised that they were broadcasting in TrueHD. I checked and they were only broadcasting in Dolby Digital 5.1.

I was irritated that they claimed they were broadcasting in TrueHD when they were only broadcasting in 5.1 surround.
