You're not being thick, it's genuinely confusing (darn this 4K marketing nonsense).
'2K' as far as I can tell is a marketing department telling you a monitor has a horizontal resolution of... uh, more than 2048 pixels, which is a bit silly since a 2048 pixel wide by 1 pixel tall monitor wouldn't be very useful. Anyway a 1080p monitor's pretty close at 1920 pixels but this one is 2560 wide. Usually '2K' monitors are also 16:9 aspect ratio, so are 2560 x 1440 pixels, but this one is not, it has a 21:9 aspect ratio so is only 1080 pixels tall.
tl;dr kinda.

aww my... on prime day I have ordered a 27 inch curved samsung monitor (Samsung LS27E591C) from amazon warehouse for 119ish quid. However when it arrived I notied a crack in the case, I contacted amazon and they refunded me 15% of the cost, making this around a 100, but now this pops out (I can buy it for 155 using the 5 quid voucher from prime deal and student10 code)... ahhh so tempting :disappointed:
Edit: ahh, not tempting anymore, ordered and the 27inch samsung is going back :smile:
