2021 ASUS ROG STRIX laptop: Ryzen 9 5900HX, GeForce RTX 3080 and 2K 165Hz screen

I'll never get why some sites declare 2560 = 2K.

If 3840 gets counted as 4K, then 1920 should be counted as 2K.

And since 5120 is counted as 5K, 2560 should be counted as 2.5K

Things are confusing enough to add decimals on top of that.

We had 720p, 1080p/FullHD and 1440p, and everything was mostly fine. Then someone goes and decides that UltraHD/2160p wasn't a good enough marketing tool and decides to change from vertical to horizontal resultion, coming up with 4K... that's not even 4K! And because of that, professionals have to use monitors labeled as True 4K or Real 4K, that really are 4 thousand pixels wide.

It's all a mess.
