Personal anecdote, moving from 1080p to 2k for my computer monitor is very noticeable for games
Even 4K is noticeable for monitors (but probably not much beyond that), but this is referring to TVs that you're watching from across the couch.
Isn’t 2k and 1080P basically the same thing?
1920x1080 vs 2560x1440
Not crazy higher but a noticeable increase
It's not 2k, it's 2.5k
2k is about double of 1080p and 4k is double of 2k
Yeah. They went from counting pixels by rows to columns. A 16:9 widescreen 1080 display is 1920×1080, and most manufacturers are happy to call 1920 "2K".
Ah yes, my 1920x1080 monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440
Going down from 24" 2048x1152 to 27" 1920x1080 was an extremely noticeably change. Good god I loved that monitor things looked so crisp on it.
