  1. Well the DCI made the rules for the xK naming system, so if you don't want to use it the proper way, that's your call.
  2. Again, you have no idea what you are talking about. Look up the Digital Cinema Initiatives http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Cinema_Initiatives if you don't believe me. I know WTF I am talking about. And seeing as 4K scope is 3840x1600 (or 4096x1716 for theatrical), even DP 1.2 can handle that since it can clearly handle 3840x2160. Check your facts before trying to correct others who clearly know what they are talking about.
  3. In every instance where I have used 2K/4K/(whatever)K notation I have always been using it correctly. Please point out where you think I made a mistake if you truely believe I have no idea what I am talking about. And 16:9 has nothing to do with K notation, only the horizontal width. 1920 wide = 2K 2560 wide = 2.5K 3440 wide = 3.5K 3840 wide = 4K 4096 wide = 4K Simple as. If you want to make it more complex: 1920x1080 = 2K 1920x800 = 2K Scope 1998x1080 = 2K Flat 2048x1080 = 2K 2048x858 = 2K Scope So no, 16:9 has jack all to do with something being called 2K/4K/(whatever)K. Before trying to correct others, maybe check your facts first to make sure you aren't the one that is in the wrong. EOT
  4. 3.5K Scope. The 3.5K signifying that it is nominally 3500 pixels wide, and the Scope denoting that the aspect ratio is somewhere between 2.35:1 and 2.4:1 yielding a possible vertical resolution of between 1434 and 1464 pixels given the width of 3440 pixels. Fixed that for you. the (x)K system goes by width, not height. Also, 5040x2160 is not even possible with DP1.2 or HDMI 2.0, so not really sure what that's doing in the list. What will most likely appear larger than the 3440x1440 is a 4K Scope 3840x1600 display which is precisely a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. It would also be easily derived from existing 2560x1600 production, just as this 3440x1440 is derived from existing 1440 production.
  5. 3440 wide would be 3.5 or 3.6K depending on how one wants to round (I'll go with 3.5K). And since it is roughly a 21:9 ratio, it would be considered 3.5K Scope. Scope refering to any vertical resolution that yields a 2.35:1 to 2.4:1 aspect ratio. A 1920x1080 display is 2K, and the current batch of 21:9 displays at 2560x1080 are 2.5K Scope (as compared to a 2560x1440 16:9 which is just 2.5K [2560 wide is actually more like 2.6K or 2.7K, but who's keeping score?]).
