Ultra High Definition (UHD) – 4K/8K

Ultra High Definition was introduced to the world in 2003 by NHK as the next video experience. UHD defines two video resolutions: 4K and 8K.

• 4K (2160p) has a resolution of 3840 × 2160 (8.3 megapixels), 4 times the pixels of 1080p
• 8K (4320p) has a resolution of 7680 × 4320 (33.2 megapixels), 16 times the pixels of current 1080p HDTV
