CCA? 

Could you convert that to either US Dollars, British Pounds, or Euros? They'll be easier to work with, assuming 'CCA' is the Croatian national currency.

No hahah that's "circa" in old latin language. (eng "around 1500$" or lat. "cca 1500$") :P

1440p

The 'K's used in displays are used to refer to a particular resolution.

By definition 2k is 2048x1080p which is a cinema resolution (movies & films).

4k is 4096x2160p, is again, a cinema resolution which is hardly seen by consumers.

However, consumers tend to use 'xK' to refer to common display resolutions, as the horizontal pixels almost match the number. 1920 (horizontal) is miscalled 2k, 3840 is miscalled 4k (is UHD actually).

2.5k is used for 2560x1440p.

If you're going to use Latin, why would you abbreviate it until it's unrecognizable?
