minus-squareCybranM@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoCalling 3840x2160 “4k” makes sense since 3840 is so close. On a different note sometimes I’ve heard people call 2560x1440 for “2k” but neither 2560 nor 1440p are close to 2k so that makes little sense to me

minus-squareLojcs@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI think people call 1440p 2k because they know 4k exists and associate 1080p with 1k.
