"HD" is just an advertising name, it's not important.

1440P isn't HD either. It's Quad-High Definition or sometimes referred to as 2k.


And to add to the confusion Full HD is also sometimes referred to as 2K : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p

So yeah, its an advertising name and nothing more. Lately, we see a trend to push more "quality" pixels rather than "quantity" pixels anyways, as we see less and less return by simply pumping up the numbers. I had the chance my first native 8K content on an 8K screen a couple of months ago, and man is it underwhelming. If you don't plan to buy a >200cm diagonal TV, forget about it.

I never understood people who refer to 2560x1440 as 2K.
2.5K or 2.6K would make much more sense.

If 3840 is rounded up to 4000 (4K), then of course 1920 also has to be rounded up to 2000 (2K).
