^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. |
I am pretty sure they weren't talking about sound but rather HD resolution. I hear it all the time when watching sports. |
Yeah, they probably were not referring to the sound format that was being broadcasted - like I said, they were just using "TrueHD" as a buzzword to describe resolution. (and I can guarantee you that they weren't broadcasting in full 1920x1080 @60hz either...nobody does!)
