You've misunderstood what '2k' means - it refers to the y axis, not the x. Both aspect ratios you cite are effectively 1k.
Also, regarding Avatar - see the comment above about what it takes to compensate for lower resolution sources. There is absolutely no comparison between what Jim Cameron can do with 1080p + a quarter billion dollars, and what the average Sundance aspirant is trying to pull off for less than a million.
- nitrogen 16y agoI've always seen "2K" or "4K" or "nK" used to refer to the X axis.
