Yeah, I meant 1080p. I know 2560x1440 or any off resolution will look blurry, but since 1080p is exactly 1/4th of 2k, that should look very sharp, yes?

1080p is 2k.

There's a difference between the computer/TV resolutions, usually described by its vertical resolution, and the movie standards that use the horizontal one. For example, in movies 2K stands for a 1998x1080 resolution, that corresponds to the 1920x1080 resolution of TVs and monitors.

And 4K cinema is 4096x2160, while for TVs and monitors it's 3840x2160, which should be called 2160p, but the marketing guys decided that it was too complicated and went for 4K.

I agree with you that having an "halo" product improves the perception of a company, but given the financial situation of AMD, focusing on what sells the best is the right choice.

Oops, I meant 4K.
