Clone_IX4k is not 2160p - heard it here first!
MortyMcFry 🇦🇺It really shows how bad the marketing of these higher resolutions are. We always advertised the vertical lines and then we switched to horizontal lines.
You can’t expect an video game journalist to understand basic display principles.
Jordan LundI don’t expect a journalist to know, I expect an editor or fact checker to at least Google “4k resolution”.
Or how about “red dead redemption xbox” to see what the BC version runs at…
Pro-tip: Xbox One S / Series S - 1440p
Xbox One X / Series X - Native 4K
It’s pretty confusing
“If you think 4K and UHD are one and the same, I don’t blame you. I blame the companies that LOVE to use them interchangeably all the time. You pick up a Blu-Ray movie disc of a 4K movie and you will most definitely see an Ultra HD label on it. 4K is actually not a consumer display and broadcast standard but UHD is. 4K displays are used in professional production and digital cinemas and feature 4096 x 2160 pixels”
I don’t know that it’s THAT confusing, since by definition we’re talking consumer grade products, not professional grade.
Amd that’s a distinction consumers have been making for years.

I mean, yeah, technically it’s classified as a pickup truck… but nobody will ever confuse it for:
UHD is 4x Full HD resolution. The person who wrote that can’t even do math. That’s like saying 4^2 = 2 x 1^2 because 2 x 1 x 1 = 2 x 2
It’s obviously talking about horizontal lines, not pixels
snooggumsHow is it obvious that they are talking about horizontal when they also include vertical in the same calculation?
They just don't know the difference between pixels and lines.
No they specifically say
UHD features a 16:9 aspect ratio and is twice the resolution of full HD.
According to Wikipedia resolution is:
The display resolution or display modes of a digital television, computer monitor or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution
Resolution is the number of pixels in both dimensions, so they are wrong
I think the point is that it’s ducking hard to talk about lmao 🤣
Its pixels, why do you think QHD (Quad HD) is called that. Because its 4x the pixels of HD(720p)
You cant talk about only horizontal because you open up the chat to ultrwides and deceptive marketing, such as AMD using “8k” to show off their new GPUs, when in fact they intentially used a ultrawide and marketed it as 8k.
SaltySalamanderUHD features a 16:9 aspect ratio and is twice the resolution of full HD
Heh, no. 4k is exactly four times the resolution of 1080p.
1920 x 2 = 3840 (4K UHD)
That’s what he’s talking about.
Yeah but that would only be an increase in the horizontal resolution… you’d have 3840 x 1080.
So you gotta double the verticall resolution too, which means you’ve now doubled both horizontal and vertical resolutions, which is equal to 4 times the initial resolution
It is double the resolution, because resolution is expressed as an x,y pair. It is 4 times the pixel density for the same screen size.
ricdehActually, display resolution refers to exactly what you call pixel density, and NOT the pixel dimensions. This error is so common that the term resolution has practically been redefined outside of the professional (science and engineering) space, but technically, display resolution and pixel density are the same thing.
I thought the term “basic” would hint the sarcasm but I failed.
It really isn’t that hard to grasp, unless you are trying to frame your article a certain way.
You can’t expect an video game journalist to understand basic display principles.
Yes you can.
Wife is sarcasm?
Sarcasm is my wife.
