Poll
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 (https://i.imgur.com/EJuZNn9.gif)
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
oh man
are you hankering for an upgrade lol

1080p on a 27" display here
which gives it lower pixel density than a 15" laptop at 768p 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.

Work is the same, but only 60hz.

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
