Can someone explain how this is 4k? Apple's Thunderbolt Display has a resolution of 2560x1440 [1] and ASUS' PB287Q also has 2560x1440 according to Amazon [2].

What am I missing? UPDATE: I transposed digits and looked at the PB278Q not the PB287Q.

- bsimpson 12y agoI believe you're looking at the 278Q. The 287Q (note the digit changes) has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 according to the article.
- twic 12y agoSo it's 3.84K then. Almost 4K. A bit like how a carrier one sold me a phone with EDGE as 3G. I mean, 2.75G is pretty much 3G, right?
- izacus 12y agoUm, anything that's marked as "4K" has 3840x2160 resolution. Pretty much any "<something>p" and similar marking is misleading in terms of marketing anyway.
- devcpp 12y agoDon't blame it on bad intentions. It just happens to be four 1920x1080 screens for scaling purposes. Much like bytes and kibibytes. I'm okay with this.
- fredsted 12y agoNo. It's 4K. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution
- MartinMond 12y agoAh yes. Thanks!
- timme 12y agoThe review is about the PB287Q, your amazon link is for the PB278Q.
- MartinMond 12y agoAh, that was stupid of me :) Thanks!
