On top of that, the term 4k is a marketing phrase invented by the retail community which includes the Consumer Electronics Association. Why not 4k? Since 1920 isn't really 2k then 3840 isn't really 4k -AND- true 2k (2048 x 1084) and 4k (4096 x 2160) technologies were developed for commercial use as part of the Digital Cinema Initiative. The correct term for 3840 x 2160 is UHD. Then there is UHD+ (what many call 5k) and FUHD (Full Ultra High Definition) what many call 8k.

/Jeebus/, can you add some linebreaks perhaps?  Anyway, this is not
about the definition of "4K"...  That's a whole other discussion.
(And yes, I know about that.  I deal with post-production, video
processing quite a bit, thank you very much.)
