    Why TVs don't have a 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution but smartphones and PC monitors do?

    I want to know because if a phone can have that resolution why a TV can't. It would be cheaper than 4k 3840 X 2160p and a good middle resolution to 1080p and 4k 3840 X 2160p. I bet people would not even see a difference between 2,560x1,440 and 3840 X 2160p.
