This isn't audio... thing is most people can't even distinguish good audio when they hear it anyways.
This is about a sharper image and large field of view. Most games don't lock screen view and so the higher the res the larger the actual viewing area.
Here's an old image to give you an example (I use multiple displays and achieve the same effect when in surround mode).

Also refer to this to get an idea of how much more area you will see..

1440p**

2k is a completely different thing.

Quote (AlphaofAlphas @ Mar 2 2019 01:24pm)

Either is 4k for that matter.

But marketing says different and we all know what is meant by 2k.

Quote (Rikuo @ Mar 2 2019 01:29pm)

Not even close, 2k doesnt refer to 2560x1440 at all, its 2048x1080 DCI.

Everyone knew what I meant in this thread when I said 2k

Whether it is technically correct or not, when it comes to marketing it is correct in this matter.

Quote (Rikuo @ Mar 2 2019 01:52pm)

Nobody markets 1440p as 2k

because 2k isnt 1440p

It's weird how when I type In 2k monitors on newegg, Amazon etc that's all that pops up. 2560 x 1440
