Comment on The number on this sticker...
Yeah, and none of the 4k’s are 4k
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution
Greedy marketers just wanted to show a higher number… That’s why they switched from height to width, too.
Isn’t 4k x4 the amount of fullHD pixels? Its like 4 fullHD screens stacked together, that’s how it was marketed and hence the name.
No, 1080p is 2K because its width is 1920 (close to 2000), 2160p is 4K (3840 px wide), 4320p is 8K (7680 px wide). It’s not 1K, 4K and 16K.
