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?

If 2K referred to the number of pixels, it would look like this:
FullHD is actually a little over 2M pixels.
Yeah, and none of the 4k’s are 4k

dood. i never thought about that. maybe i should stop saying 4k
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.
