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. 

4k has 4 times more pixel than 1080p and 1080p has about 2.2 times more pixel than 720p and 720p has roughly 3 times more pixel than 480p.

 

2k is 1080p aka 1980 (2k) x 1080

4k is 2160p aka 3840 (4k) x 2160

Where do you see the clever marketing ? It was like this before 1080p became a marketing term.

before the internet

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
