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.
