Does 3840 x 1080 classify as 4k ?

edit

If 3840 × 2160p and 3840 × 1600p can be called 4k, does 3840 x 1080p also classify as 4k ? --Ne0 (talk) 08:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes, that is a 4K resolution. GlenwingKyros (talk) 16:39, 21 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
From what I know, "4K" is classified as 4096x2160, while the resolution 3840x2160 is called UHD 4K or 4K UHD. DanGamingTV (talk) 02:09, 9 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
A common misconception. 4K is a generic term which encompasses both 4096×2160 and 3840×2160, as well as all other resolutions in the same class. 4K UHD is a more specific term generally used to refer to 3840×2160. This is explained in the article. GlenwingKyros (talk) 03:25, 9 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
It depends. First it has fall under one of the 4K standards. Then there is a distinction between display resolution and media resolution. I haven't found any 4K standard that includes 3840×1080, either as a media or display resolution but maybe someone could point me to one. DCI 4K allows media to be smaller than 4096×2160 in either dimension but not both. Johan Hanson (talk) 15:44, 24 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

The link to the second source doesn't work, is it just me? Kevinishere15 (talk) 15:06, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

2160p resolution

edit

There are two paragraphs with a section title 2160p resolution which appear to be largely unsourced, and the few sources there are don't make the claims in the sentences they are attached to. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Tduk (talk) 18:58, 2 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

You can use Template:Citation needed to flag the statements that are unsourced, and Template:Failed verification to flag the ones that have a source citation, but the citation doesn't support the statement. GA-RT-22 (talk) 22:25, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

The article should not use authoritative language

edit

There is the camp that says that "4K" is only 4000 or wider (or 4096), and then there is the camp that says says that "4K is a generic term".

The article expresses the latter opinion in many places.

It should not. It should present both views as neutrally as possible. Johan Hanson (talk) 15:34, 24 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
