This isn't as bad as TV companies calling 3840x2160 "4k", and certainly not worse than calling 2560x1440 "2k".
At least these are somewhat close to each other and not several hundred away
Kevin Miller
I prefer those over shit like "Full HD" and "Ultra HD"
Juan Wright
Full HD and Ultra HD at least aren't blatant lies, but they also don't have real meaning either.
We should really call resolutions by their full size
Wyatt Sanchez
they're dumb

>3840x2160
is this not the real resolution of "4k"?
do you just hate the name

>UHD-1, or ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV), is the 4K standard for television and computer monitors. UHD-1 is also called 2160p as it has a resolution of 3840 × 2160 (16:9, or approximately a 1.78:1 aspect ratio)
yes it is
Samuel Watson
3840*2160/(1920*1080)=4
It's not rocket science you stupid piece of shit.

Real 4k is 4096x2160

Why would you want an aspect ratio incompatible with 1080p?

>aspect ratio
>1080p
why is Sup Forums harboring so many retards recently?
Michael Hill
Shoulda stuck with the vertical resolution naming scheme. 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 2160p. There's a clear progression instead of going from "HD" to "QHD" to "UHD" as if they mean anything.
Blake Thompson
I clearly meant 1920x1080, which means 16:9. 4096x2160 is about 17:9.
Luis Barnes
It's for editors. They can fill the entire screen without letterboxing. When you decode a movie made in 2k (2048 x 1080) onto HD 1080 (1920 x 1080) it will letterbox appropriately, and appear sharper due to scaling.

How about LinusTechTips calling four 4K displays in multimonitor setup as 12K? (when there is only 33% of the pixels needed for 12K (you need 9 4K monitors for 12K
Intel also said their X299 Core i9 processors were 12K ready (but they used three 4K monitors which is only 33% of all pixels needed for 12K)
Aiden Reyes
Because of horizontal pixel count, they are correct, which is why calling it (x)k is a terrible idea.
Justin Hill
It should be 2160p simply because the aspect ratio of film and video varies quite a lot but the vertical resolution is usually fixed.
>I clearly meant 1920x1080
How is that clear?
There are many films released in 1080p with more or less than 1920 horizontal pixels.
I just saw a new 4:3 film on Blu-Ray yesterday, and most movies are 21:9 or wider.

The first is used for storage, the second is used for memory. This is a standard convention you numbskull.

Marketing. This is actually a pre-Windows thing.

No such thing faggot.
1KB = 1024B

>This is a standard convention
No, it isn't. Virtually every standards body accepted binary prefixes.
The vocative comma, however, is a standard.

Because it's new.
Bentley Williams
OK, how to retrieve usual binary KBs in Linux?
Dylan Robinson
Except windows counts in 2^10x(n) but displays KB instead of KiB?
