Dear God,

I hope they sack this “journalist” quickly.

    UHD is 4x Full HD resolution. The person who wrote that can’t even do math. That’s like saying 4m^2 = 2 x 1m^2 because 2 x 1 x 1 = 2 x 2

        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

        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.

        How 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.
