There is enough confusion between horizontal resolutions (2K, 4K etc.) and vertical ones (1080p, 2160p etc.). This is not helping; why even print a promotional sticker with a number of pixels smaller than what it should be?

    The terms “2K” and “4K” were totally commonplace since about 2010, although not as prevalent as 1080p. I hate how the video industry switched to marketing horizontal resolution (and rounding it up) just to make the number look big.

      In what way exactly? I am not following some of these comments. The thing that irks me is that the companies make these wide screens, and then hide the resolution to try and fool me into thinking it’s a 4K monitor. I actually really want a 4K monitor, and every time, it seems to be someone trying to fool me again. (I know they are available, but I am hoping they come down a bit in price)
