No, 1440p is shorthand for 2560 x 1440 resolution, which manufacturers also refer to as Quad HD (QHD) or “2K.” Meanwhile, 4K Ultra HD screens have 3840 x 2160 pixels, more than double what you see on a 1440p display. The jump from 1440p to 4K is impressive but requires much more powerful hardware to play games at high frame rates. For many players, 1440p provides a better balance of the two, offering a significant jump in clarity from 1080p without giving up the smooth animation.
