AOC unveiled the Q2963PQ, a 29-inch ultra-wide monitor, which embeds an IPS LCD panel, and a mainstream feature-set. Its key specs include 2560 x 1080 pixels native resolution, 5 ms response time, 60 Hz refresh-rate, 178°/178° viewing angles, 300 cd/m² maximum brightness, and dynamic mega-contrast. Inputs include DisplayPort 1.2, dual-link DVI, and D-Sub. Measuring 714 mm x 233 mm x 388 mm (WxDxH), the display weighs in at 7.16 kg. 3W stereo stereo speakers come inbuilt.

@bubbleawsome guess you could say 16:9 1080p is 1k.
1) That power consumption difference @AsRock mentioned seems improbable with two virtually identical monitors, but that is what's written in a datasheet...
2) Both feature an MHL logo (Mobile High-definition Link), but neither claims to support it in datasheet?
3) Some sources and reviews mention Q2963PM having a 5ms GtG, not 6ms.
So the only "for sure" differences are:
1) Absent HDMI, DP-out and analog audio input
2) Present DVI-D
3) Price

Good job PR.
Occasionally, 1080p (Full HD or FHD) has been included into the 2K resolution definition. Although 1920x1080 could be considered as having a horizontal resolution of approximately 2,000 pixels, most media, including web content and books on video production, cinema references and definitions, define 1080p and 2K resolutions as separate definitions and not the same.
Although 1080p has the same vertical resolution as DCI 2K resolutions (1080 pixels), it has a smaller horizontal resolution below the range of 2K resolution formats.
According to official reference material, DCI and industry standards do not officially recognize 1080p as a 2K resolution in literature concerning 2K and 4K resolution.

anyway 1080p is the closest thing to 2k we have in PC resolutions. 1440p is 2.5k if you will or QHD = Quad HD whatever that means... (I mean HD is 1920x1080 so how is 2560x1440 4x of that? makes no sense)
Something like: "über-contrast for epic gaming experience"
