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.

I 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”

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

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

Resolution is the number of pixels in both dimensions, so they are wrong
