【No. 0102】Meaning of "K" in "4K"
Mar 30, 2015 18:55
We recently came to use the word "4K" or "8K" as an resolution indicator.
If we use the word "4K," it probably means the resolution of 3820x2160, and this is comparable to four times the Full HD resolution(1980x1080).
Therefore I thought "4" of "4K" means "4 times."
However, the meaning of "K" was "kilo."
That is, "4K" represents that the width of the resolution is around 4000 pixels.

「4K」の「K」の意味
私たちは最近、解像度を表す指標として「4K」や「8K」などを使うようになってきました。
「4K」と言えば通常、3820x2160 の解像度を表しており、これはフルHD（1980x1080）の4倍の解像度となります。
そのため、私は「4K」の「4」は、4倍という意味だと思っていました。
しかし、「K」の意味を調べると、それは「キロ」でした。
すなわち、「4K」は横の解像度が約4000だということことを表しています。

Although "represents" is not wrong, using the word "means" sounds more natural to me.
