For clarity, Mike and Bobby said two different things. I believe Mike is incorrect when he answers Frank, "4K is a value....of what?"; "Lines of vertical resolution "
It is 4K pixels per line.
Frank, it's a sad reality that people use the term "4K" a lot, so it's come into our speech without more clear units. But please don't make up a new abbreviation -- that will just engender lots of confusion (especially if it's wrong ).
Bobby went on to say, "The newest implementations of LZW use some of the same tricks utilized by the GIF format." Err, LZW is the compression format used by GIF. This doesn't make a lot of sense, seeing as GIF's compression hasn't changed since 1989 (or 1987, depending on how you look at it).
