____P is a broadcast specification, and was never meant to become a display measurement. It intentionally only defined the vertical resolution as this was the only specific resolution requirement; for example 1440x1080 is a valid 1080P broadcast resolution (it would still be displayed in 16:9 however). Moreover specifying Progressive is utterly redundant in modern displays (and thankfully is becoming universally redundant).
____P is no less of a marketing label than 4K, just a different one. Any monitor should be defined by its resolution; however this is clunky as hell- as demonstrated by the sheer mass of people keen to inappropriately use the ____P nomenclature.
UHD seems a valid shorthand of this resolution; and to be fair it tends to get used; although often alongside 4K.
- byuu 12y agoI would be quite happy with the demise of interlaced display modes as well. But I'm not so hopeful that we won't see a "4Ki" resolution for cable/satellite UHD channels in the future. All of the channels I get are 1080i still.
