As far as the preferred gaming monitor right now however, it is a 1440p or more accurately 2560x1440. Some folks prefer the extra real estate of the 1200p.

Since it is above 1080p (which is called Full HD) then you of course have a Full HD monitor with a little better vertical spread than 1080p and a slightly different aspect ratio. Your monitor at 1920x1200 is technically 1200p, not 1080p. The 'p' stands for progressive - which differentiated it from 1080i in the beginning of the HD revolution which was short for interlaced which was a weaker HD technology. They're actually 3840 × 2160 resolution (twice in height and width what Full HD is).įinally, your 1920 x 1200 monitor is 1200p. It's a marketing term and in my view the marketing departments should be ashamed of themselves - this is false advertising. Most '4k' televisions are actually UHD televisions because they don't feature 4,000 pixels across.

The above article shows three different 2k resolutions - DCI (Digital Cinemas Initiative) native, DCI cropped, DCI CinemaScope.Īs for 4k, it's very similar. It's close, but it's 80 pixels too narrow. Therefore, 1080p (as we know it - 1920 x 1080) is not 2k resolution. To put simply, 2k resolution needs 2,000 pixels across.
