[citation][nom]Parsian[/nom]Not all 4Ks are 4000+ horizontally either. The term 4K is an umbrella term for 3800 to 4100 ish (sorry cant recall the numbers) The reason is that, there multiple studios and industry players who are testing these different variety. Also there is the aspect ratio. For hollywood, the aspect ratio is different than say broadcasting etc... Its like how we had 16:10 widescreens and then 16:9 became popular[/citation]


16:10 is the aspect raito of 2 8.5" x 11" pieces of paper side by side. Monitors went 16:9 because watching movies without letter boxing is far more important than being have to read 2 pages at the same time without scrolling ;)
