    @awesam17 Short answer, yes. Long answer : not really, let me explain. Back when RAM was extremely small we went from 1 Byte to 2, to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048. To keep it managable for the mouth they started to call it Kilobytes ( 1 Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes ) ... So 4K monitors ( 4 Kilopixels ) are 4096 actual pixels on the horizontal axis. Technically anyway. Since The Standard of 4K is 4096X2160. However the average consumer does not know this and will be sold a TV/Monitor with a ???x2160 resolution following the popular 16:9 aspect ratio for consumer TV's/monitors ( http://pny.lv/b2jg ... this is aspect ratio ) meaning 3840X2160. Which is not actually 4K at all. But it all boils down to "more pixels in a monitor" anyway. No reason to fight over it, although it will not stop average consumers to throw a tantrum once they find out I'd reckon
