there are measuring it in horizontal now rather than vertical, and it is proper 4k on a projector it is slightly under on TV units. But it is 4x the amount of pixels, so i think its fine to call it 4k

But isn't it 4x the amount that is offered by 2k. So really it is just clever marketing nothing else. 

Yes it is marketing nothing more. 

But saying 2k makes it sound like it only doubles in size, when its actualy 4x the size, so you can see why they went for 4k

No I meant that just above 1080p is 2k (Which isn't 2x the pixel) and that 2K X 4 = 4K (Not exact I think)
