Y'all left 1080?

Actually, 1080p *is* a 2K resolution.

4K is called 4K because it is **3840** x 2160 pixels. 3.8K is rounded to 4K in this case.

1080p is exactly half as wide and half as tall. It's **1920** x 1080 pixels. 1.9K is closer to 2K than 3.8K is to 4K.

This is also how the term was used in the film industry.

Calling 1440p 2K is something that monitor marketing made up.
