  OK, so by 2K you mean 1080p. That's a very unusual nomenclature but I see what you mean, thanks. The top link in the reddit thread disproves what you're saying though: https://4kmedia.org/real-or-fake-4k/ https://4kmedia.org/real-or-fake-4k/ Somewhere between a third and a half of films are listed as "real 4K". So there is actually tons of real 4K content. (And the list is just films -- there are plenty of streaming TV shows in real 4K too, like Mrs Maisel.) There might be another reason for the misperception -- it's true that film editing is generally done in something lower-quality like compressed 1080p, but that's just for speed/space while you work. All the clips "point" to the 4K originals, so when the final master is produced, it's still produced out of that "real" 4K.

    BTW: I really dislike calling horizontal 2660px as "2K" resolution. It's even close to 3K than 2K. It should be called as 2.5K.
