The problem is that 2K is already taken. So we have 1K --> FHD (1920x1080) 2K --> QHD (2560x1440) 4K --> UHD (3840×2160

  > QHD (2560x1440) That should be 2.5K or something if they want to downscale that silly naming system. 2K means 1920x1080.

    Should, but in the market place its called 2K. Check Amazon, BestBuy, NewEgg, etc. The marketplace terms are now like: Full HD --> 1920x1080 2K --> 2560x1440 4K --> 3840x20160 https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=2K+monitor https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=2K+monitor https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=2k+monitor&sprefix=2k+mo%2Caps%2C85&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_5 https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=2k+monitor&sprefix=2k+mo%2Caps%2C8...

      That's messed up. Both sites' filters even call 1080p "2K", but most manufacturers are using the term for 1440p.

        I don't think they call 1920x1080 2K, I think they call 2560x1080 2K which is a odd resolution as well.

  Isn't the K relating to the horizontal axis? 1K being close to FHD doesn't seem to make sense. 1K (1024x540) ~= qHD (960x540) 2K (2048x1080) ~= FHD (1920x1080) 4K (4096x2160) ~= UHD (3840x2160) 8K (8192x4320) ~= QUHD (7680x4320) Vertical axis is the same, just different aspect ratio and horizontal axis.

    That's the theory, but in the market place right now we have: 2K --> QHD (2560x1440) 4K --> UHD (3840x2160) Check out Amazon, NewEgg, BestBuy, etc. That's the current market convention naming. https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=2K+monitor https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=2K+monitor https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=2k+monitor&sprefix=2k+mo%2Caps%2C85&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_5 https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=2k+monitor&sprefix=2k+mo%2Caps%2C8...
