    Why is is called 4k and not 2160i or P. They trying to fool people into thinking the pixels are 4x that of a 1080p and not double the pixel count?

    It is called 4k because 1080P can fit 4x in this type of screen

  • technically the 4k displays DO have 4x the pixel count of a 1080p... do the math.

    1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600

    3840 x 2160 = 8,294,400

    not saying that has anything to do with the naming, but don't get it twisted.

    ~8MP vs. ~2MP.

    That IS 4x the pixel count. Time to go back to school.

  • Well - to be fair: The pixel count for the whole screen IS indeed quadrupled: From 2,073,600 pixels (1,920 x 1,080) to 8,294,400 pixels (3840 x 2160).

    But the 4K refers to the horizontal resolution of the screen, so you're right too in a way. ;)

    As the title mentions "...Glasses-Free 3D...". How does that look and work?

    I think I'm more interested in the 20-inch 4K displays, they would make one fantastic monitor!
