There is enough confusion between horizontal resolutions (2K, 4K etc.) and vertical ones (1080p, 2160p etc.). This is not helping; why even print a promotional sticker with a number of pixels smaller than what it should be?

If 2K referred to the number of pixels, it would look like this:
FullHD is actually a little over 2M pixels.
What? Screen aspect ratio and pixel density are quite different things. Most FullHD TVs are widescreen and have pixel density below 36 ppi, and while high-DPI 4:3 screens are rare, they are not impossible in any way.
Yeah, and none of the 4k’s are 4k

Greedy marketers just wanted to show a higher number… That’s why they switched from height to width, too.
