What is 2K Resolution

Whether you are searching for a monitor or a TV, you will most certainly find plenty of displays with 2K resolution in the market. Monitor Resolution is the number of pixels per unit area. A display is said to be 2K if it has about 2000 pixels horizontally.

While the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), which is an association established to set standards for digital cinema systems, describes a resolution of 2048×1080 pixels as 2K, the 2K displays that you will come across in the market will mostly possess a resolution of 2560×1440, which is termed officially as Quad HD (QHD). You won’t have any trouble finding monitors and laptops that support QHD resolution.
