Why are there no curved ultrawide monitors with 2160p height?

I can admit when I'm wrong, although I'm not sure a paragraph after I responded to actual question should be considered "spend[ing] the entire post arguing about what 4K means."

Thanks for clearing up where and why 4k notation comes from and is used. I will never get defensive when I'm talking with someone who knows more than me. I think its a little unfair to say that I'm the one making confusing since you yourself said that using 4k notation for PC monitors "is not well-suited for their application". I agree that just saying 2160p is better for everyone. The reason I intially made my response is because others in this thread were arguing that a 4k by 1080p monitor is not 1080p which is not true, although I should not have been arguing that it is not 4k either, since it is. And no one actually answered his question, which by the phrasing of the initial question, I thought what he meant was pretty clear.

Anyway thanks for clearing up this thread with some actual knowledge. Hopefully people on both sides of the aisle have a better understanding. I know I do.

You took that better than I expected, hats off I apologize for being too aggressive with my wording.

Now with the new RTX 3080 release, the gigantic boost in fps allows easy playing on 4k monitors on max settings. So, I'm looking for a Curved Ultrawide monitor now with ~2160p height... but I literally can only find 1 ultrawide monitor with these specification. Which isn't curved.

I mean... why aren't there any? And then I'm not even filtering on Hz / colors / other features yet.

There must be a reason... who can explain? : )

(edited: ultrawide != widescreen)

So -- correct me if I'm wrong -- but if we're talking Ultrawide...

Example: Dell U4919DW 5120 x 1440

The equivalent screen ratio resolution for 2160p would be: 7680 x 2160

There are some threads around town that have brought it up.

‘S a lot of pixels which will in turn require a lot of video card to drive it. Big big video cards are expensive so there wouldn’t be a lot of them even if the electronics crunch wasn’t upon us. Might just not be enough market.
