Needs a 2k screen, wont go back to 1080p...

  If 4k is 3840 × 2160, 1920 × 1080 is 2k, FYI

    Nope, 1440p is known as 2k because it is twice the amount of pixels as 1080p.

      https://www.tomshardware.com/news/2k-definition,37641.html https://www.tomshardware.com/news/2k-definition,37641.html Says that the DCI definition of 2K is 2048x1080, and that 2560x1440 should be called QHD or WQHD. (Quad = 4x, HD = 1280x720). And this aligns with the usage I am accustomed to.

    This is 100% correct. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2K_resolution > Another resolution that is often referred to as 2K is 2560 × 1440 (1440p) however that is a common mistake in marketing[12] and is called QHD by the DCI. It is a mistake to refer to 2560x1440 as 2K. People calling 1080p "2K" is a pet peeve of mine. 2.5K is a more appropriate name for 2560x1440, if you want to use that naming convention, but I think just saying 1440p is simpler.

      I'm upset for such people too. Chinese smartphone manufacturers tend to say it.

      > People calling 1080p "2K" is a pet peeve of mine. Can’t edit now, but clearly I meant to say 1440p in this sentence, not 1080p.
