There is enough confusion between horizontal resolutions (2K, 4K etc.) and vertical ones (1080p, 2160p etc.). This is not helping; why even print a promotional sticker with a number of pixels smaller than what it should be?

      So 1920 rows x 1080 columns.

      Unless I have a massive brain fart right now, no, that’s the exact opposite. The screen is wider than it is tall (unless you rotate by 90°) - hence the term widescreen. There are 1920 columns (width) and 1080 rows (height). This is why the sticker is confusing: it indicates that 1080 pixels is the width.

        I agree and do not further engage in this discussion to not induce any more confusion ;)

      No, it’s definitely 1920 columns and 1080 rows.

      So yeah the sticker is right but OP is wrong.

      I don’t know what the sticker is trying to say. I can read it in two ways, and one of them is kind of correct while the other is definitely wrong. And that is unnecessarily confusing, and therefore mildly infuriating.

      I don’t know what you think OP is wrong about.
