"But he claimed several times that there were 4K displays in the PS2-era... should be easy to prove that if true."
There were; it is, and I linked you one.

Sold between 2001 to 2005.

This monitor has more pixels than an average modern, 16:9 4k monitor.

4k in the early 2000s, must've been glorious.

I was hoping someone would ask me to prove it.
I tend not to make a claim unless I look it up first. ;)

They were actually 3840×2400 resolution, so higher than 4k. But you know. Cats and stuff.

Point taken. I only looked for "2160p" and forgot that 16:10-displays were still popular back then. My bad.

But I doubt that I would have been happy with one of these monitors for gaming with their low frequency (up to 41 Hz), they were more specialized for static images.
