While I don't entirely disagree with you, I'm guessing that terms like "24p" and "60p" are just interchangeable shorthand for "1080p/24" amd "1080p/60," as I've never seen the "p" applied to both numbers when written like this. Also, "Resolution setting is 1080p/24 Hz" is what pops up on my A20 right after the HD DVD logo appears. Toshiba themselves use "Hz" when writing about the different speeds of their LCDs, as seen in the paragraph below:
"A standard LCD TV typically has a frame rate of 60 frames per second, or 60Hz. To avoid possible motion blur with fast motion video, ClearFrame doubles that frame rate to 120 frames per second, or 120 Hz. While there are many possible methods for creating the additional 60 frames, ClearFrame utilizes superior Motion Vector Frame Interpolation (MVFI) technology. MVFI analyzes Frame A and Frame B and creates a new Frame A+B. By evaluating the speed and direction of multiple picture elements within the frames, this advanced system virtually eliminates motion blur without decreasing image brightness or adding flicker."
And, in their FAQ section:
"Q1. What does this update do?
A1. This firmware update adds support for 1080p/24Hz output to the HD-A20 and HD-XA2 players."
I'm sure any videophiles or engineering/AV experts reading this post will have something to add, but I'm only repeating what I've seen on Toshiba's site as well as countless others.
