      Its pixels, why do you think QHD (Quad HD) is called that. Because its 4x the pixels of HD(720p)

      You cant talk about only horizontal because you open up the chat to ultrwides and deceptive marketing, such as AMD using “8k” to show off their new GPUs, when in fact they intentially used a ultrawide and marketed it as 8k.

      No they specifically say

      UHD features a 16:9 aspect ratio and is twice the resolution of full HD.

      According to Wikipedia resolution is:

      The display resolution or display modes of a digital television, computer monitor or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution

      Resolution is the number of pixels in both dimensions, so they are wrong

      How is it obvious that they are talking about horizontal when they also include vertical in the same calculation?

      They just don’t know the difference between pixels and lines.
