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.

    2K is 2560x1440p though, not 1080, make a quick google search and you’ll see it. It’s roughly double the amount of pixels of fullHD.
