2k is 1080p right? Or am I just wrong?

2k refers to 1440p but its a bit nonsensical and not really an industry standard term the way 4k is. 2k referring to 1440p screens doesn't really make sense since usually the number refers to horizontal pixels and 1920x1080 is actually a lot closer to 2k horizontal pixels than 2560x1440.

But despite all that, regardless of the logic, 2k is 1440p. No one uses 2k to describe 1080p even though it makes perfect sense. And again, 2k is not an industry standard at all and isn't used in any professional settings to refer to 1440p/QHD screens.
