Dear God,

I hope they sack this "journalist" quickly.

Calling 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

1920x1080 is closer to 2K if anything.

Heh, I never knew this and I am tech savy. TIL.

I think people call 1440p 2k because they know 4k exists and associate 1080p with 1k.
