Just curious as to what video resolutions the [H]ard members game at....

This has been discussed ad nauseum but if 3840x2160 is "4K", 1920x1080 is "2K".
Either way, those made up terms are useless and don't accurately define anything.
My answer is 3440x1440.
1080P is HD
1440P is 2K
3840 is 4K

If I'm wrong I guess I need a education at FoxConn here in WI.
You need sources to call something a fact.Accepted progression of monitor height as developed.
480
720
1080
2k is 2x 720p or 1440 more commonly referred to as QHD
4k is 2x 1080 or 2160 more commonly referred to as 4k
variation exist due to aspect ratio and delivery methods commonly adopted by media production
standard, interlaced, progressive (delivery methods) (in order of development)
4:3 16:9 16:10 21:9 etc etc (aspect ratios)
Understanding how each was developed cannot be ignored
2k was developed by doubling the 720p standard
4k was developed by doubling the 1080p standard
FACTS
In any case my vote for 2k was for 1440p which I cealrly understood as asked.
Well here we go again, I guess.
Why? Please define the logic.
You have one resolution using the horizontal resolution to determine the arbitrary "k" naming scheme (3840x2160) while another, you're using the vertical resolution? (2560x1440). What about resolutions that aren't 16x9?
This whole "k" naming scheme doesn't make any sense and does nothing but confuse people.
Just define the resolution you're using and there is no ambiguity or at LEAST using a shorthand that makes sense and follows a common convention.
For me 2k will never be 1440p it makes no sense at all, there is no valid argument for it. Officially it is 2048 × 1080 but 1920 x 1080 is closest on pc monitor resolutions, see also below article.

Well, that's a wasted opportunity of a poll. You haven't thought this trough have you?
This poll should have these options:
1366x768 - for older 15" laptops
1400x900 - for older 16:10 LCD Screens
1680x1050 - for older 16:10 LCD Screens
1920x1080 - FullHD or 1080p as it is commonly known
2560x1080 - 1080p ultrawide 21:9
1920x1200 - 16:10 some workstation monitors have this resolution
2560x1440 - QHD or Quad HD
3440x1440 - WQHD
2560x1600 - QXGA - again workstation monitors
3840x1600 - WQHD+
3840x2160 - 4K
More than 4K
other - There always has to be an other option in every poll.
And we still haven't mentioned multiple display setups then.
It's tough. For productivity 16:10 is better, but for gaming and movies not so much. At this point in time I wish I had a 21:9, only the screen fitting my wants doesn't exist yet at the price I'm willing to pay for a monitor.I'm still bitter that 16:9 beat out 16:10
lol I knew what you meant but it is "new" and you meant bottom to top right? cause if they started at the top that is where the poll is.If someone knew to resolutions came into this thread read it from top to bottom they would walk away even more confused and would forget there is even a poll.. lol
Lol yes! Even if they started at the top and worked their way down it would be a fun ride!lol I knew what you meant but it is "new" and you meant bottom to top right? cause if they started at the top that is where the poll is.
I skipped a few posts and didn't realize the horror posts on clarification of shorthand names LOL really should just use full numbers instead of "WQHD+" so people don't go searching the resolution terms and come out just more confused. Why isn't Cinema 4K the standard?Lol yes! Even if they started at the top and worked their way down it would be a fun ride!
