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?

Nah
They won’t know about 1024x768, but if they did they would understand that 1080 is barely better.
Going from 1024 to 1920 horizontal also takes the aspect ratio from 3:4 to 16:9. so pixel density is barely better.

If 2K referred to the number of pixels, it would look like this:
FullHD is actually a little over 2M pixels.
What? Screen aspect ratio and pixel density are quite different things. Most FullHD TVs are widescreen and have pixel density below 36 ppi, and while high-DPI 4:3 screens are rare, they are not impossible in any way.
The Explain XKCD for this comic is gold.
