no, no, they have a point

why is a resolution primarily measured in vertical pixels, but a screen size is measured in diagonal? shouldn't it be vertical, so that it's easily comparable across resolutions and sizes?

Are resolutions predominantly measured in vertical pixels? I thought it was horizontal? Like, 1080p is 1080 wide? I don't know anything about resolutions though so I'm likely wrong!

1080p is 1920x1080 (WxH)

1440p is 2560x1440

Then you get to 4K and whoops, we broke the naming convention

Oh my god. Duh 😂 I literally did the 1920x1080 thing but somehow still thought 1080 was the width 😂 Thank you!
