"1K" must be a typo; it would refer to the legacy XGA resolution of 1024x768.
"2K" has its origins in digital cinema (where it actually was 2000 pixels wide), but it has since become used interchangeably with 1080p (1920px wide) alongside "4K" becoming the common term for 2160p (3840px wide).
(Further confusing things, I've also seen some usage of "2K" to indicate 1440p, although it would be more accurately termed "2.5K".)
- RegnisGnaw 4y agoUnfortunately the marketplace has pretty much standardize on 2K being 1440p (see links below) 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... https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=&cat=&Ntt=2K+monitor&searchButton=search https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=&ca... https://www.benq.com/en-ca/monitor/gaming/ex2780q.html https://www.benq.com/en-ca/monitor/gaming/ex2780q.html https://www.viewsonic.com/us/vg2756-2k-27-1440p-ergonomic-ips-docking-monitor-with-90w-usb-c-rj45-and-daisy-chain.html https://www.viewsonic.com/us/vg2756-2k-27-1440p-ergonomic-ip...
