2k stands for I can't count how many pixels qhd has. But yes sometimes people call qhd 2k, even though it's incredibly incorrect.

Don't tell me that, I say 1440p. It's OP that says 2K. I think 2K is actually 1600p, could be wrong though.

ooo so its the same just a marketing thing to make it sound fancier then the other ones?

People are way too stupid to be able to use abbreviations.

 

From now on, everyone must say the full resolutions... ex: 2560x1440 or 1920x1080....

Will be years faster, than a wall of posts about what means what, that every post mentioning resolution names turns into...
