Is "4k" just a marketing term? I'm not sure what it actually means.

@tenderlove I don't know why they use "k" but it's basically quad-HD, doubling of both vertical and horizontal dimensions. 4x more pixels.
@headius @tenderlove It's because it's 3840 px, and 4k is a reasonable way to say that number.

@sgrif@tenderlove Yeah I guess that explains the 4k. 4x would have been more accurate and cooler-sounding if you ask me. 4X HD! -
@headius@tenderlove Yeah, the `k` can't last more than one more bump. 8k is 7680, which barely counts. After that I guess it's 15k?

@sgrif@headius@tenderlove It's also because there are multiple standards, and each are roughly 4k pixels wide. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution#Resolutions … -
@fryguy9@sgrif@tenderlove Perhaps we should start saying pibixels to indicate non-powers of two resolution, like mebibytes and gibibytes.
