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?

Yes, that is the number of rows. But that makes it the vertical resolution. There's 1080 pixels from top to bottom. If the arrows/triangles are indicating the direction of measurement, they are wrong.
I suspect that it's an attempt at indicating a wide screen. 16:9, 16:10 etc was fairly new at the time, many buyers would be expecting their usual 4:3 screen ratio.
You're right, I mixed it up, it's the number of cols. So 1920 rows x 1080 columns. So yeah the sticker is right but OP is wrong.
Idk, when I bought that notebook in 2018, 4:3 was not really common anymore. But it might be a regional thing as someone else suggested. That marketing is often confusing is uncontroversial. However I don't really agree with this being "mildy infuriating".
No, it's definitely 1920 columns and 1080 rows.
I don't know what the sticker is trying to say. I can read it in two ways, and one of them is kind of correct while the other is definitely wrong. And that is unnecessarily confusing, and therefore mildly infuriating.
I don't know what you think OP is wrong about.
Unless I have a massive brain fart right now, no, that's the exact opposite. The screen is wider than it is tall (unless you rotate by 90°) - hence the term widescreen. There are 1920 columns (width) and 1080 rows (height). This is why the sticker is confusing: it indicates that 1080 pixels is the width.
1080 rows of 1920 pixels each
1920 columns of 1080 pixels each
I agree and do not further engage in this discussion to not induce any more confusion ;)
