Idiotic unnecessary indirection.
"Woody/Sarge???" WTF? "SD/1080p/4k???" WTF? Enough redundant
naming conventions already.
You think this is bad? Just wait until 4K really gets going in
the mainstream and every manufacturer under the sun comes up with
their own unique term to differentiate themselves. It'll be 2008
all over again.
