[β] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago (1 child) Obligatory mention that 2k is roughly 1080p (2048x1080) and what you probably mean is QHD/WQHD but you can just use 1440p for clarity permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Sarcasmo220@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago (1 child) TIL 2k is not synonymous with QHD permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago It's not - unfortunately, even professionals often use it wrong. the "K" refers to columns of pixels, in thousands. 2K was never used as a term for a consumer resolution, it only existed as DCI 2K really. 4K in the original form of DCI 4K is 4096x2160. But consumer screens are usually 16:9, so in consumer 4K we keep the 2160, but divide it by 9 and multiply by 16 to get 3840. permalink fedilink source parent
