4K
Beyond standard definition
4K refers to a display resolution of approximately 4,000 horizontal pixels, typically 3840 × 2160 for consumer televisions and monitors.
The term has become shorthand for ultra-high-definition video quality, offering four times the detail of standard 1080p HD.
We upgraded to a 4K TV for the living room.
Marketing has extended the term to cameras, streaming services, and gaming consoles that support this resolution standard.
