PotD: What is the resolution of your primary monitor?

[Kalahari Inkantation]

1080p on a 27" display here

which gives it lower pixel density than a 15" laptop at 768p lol

1080p I think my monitor is 22â€�?  I’m honestly not sure any more lol

My main desktop monitor is 1920x1200 at 24". Basically 1080p but taller.

The laptop I use most lately is a Pixelbook, which is 2400x1600. That's about the number of pixels 1440p has (slightly more) at a 3:2 aspect ratio.

added an "other" option because i forgot about irregular aspect ratios like 16:10 and 3:2

When it comes to consumer tech (outside cinema, where 2K means 2048 wide) I usually see people use "2K" to refer to 1440p, not 1080p. It's a nonsensical misuse of terminology, but that's still how it usually seems to be used.

in a poll like this I think picking the closest match is better than just one big "Other" that includes all the ultrawides, macs, etc.

1080p, idk what size it is, around 21''

but i have two

i agree in general but certain aspect ratios like 3:2 and their associated resolutions are just so unusual that they necessitate an "other" category

this legitimately infuriates me

it literally makes no mathematical sense, and it's completely inconsistent with pre-established reasoning

if 4k is taken to mean 2160p, then 2k could only possibly mean 1080p

2k is far, far closer to 1920 (96%) than it is to 2560 (78%)

the ratio of 3840:4000 is exactly identical to the ratio of 1920:2000

therefore, only 1080p could possibly be 2k

so i make a point to use 2.5k to mean 1440p, even if basically nobody else does lol

17" laptop with 1920

24", 1080p, 144hz monitor.

Work is the same, but only 60hz.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

mine is 75hz lol

1920x1200

[Kalahari Inkantation]

it's amusing to think that my 6.2" shitph*ne has a much higher resolution than my 27" monitor does (2.5k vs. 1080p) lol

you can really see the difference on boyah in particular
