This method also works for display resolution names like WHKLWXD which is 4k but with six extra pixels on the left side.

At work I used to have a WUXGA, 1920×1200. I liked it because it just gave extra space. Typically on a desk you're cramped on vertical space, not horizontal.

Prior to that I had a 1080p with two 1600×900 monitors flanking it lol.

Isn't that just 16x10 instead of 16x9? Been awhile since I've messed with those resolutions

And the monitor with extra pixels on the right side will obviously have a different name

It's obviously called WHKRWXD.

You can't start mixing those up, they're for entirely different market segments!
