4K monitor

Ultra-high-definition display

A 4K monitor is a display screen with a horizontal resolution of approximately 4,000 pixels—specifically 3840 × 2160 pixels in consumer devices.

The name comes from the roughly four thousand pixels across the width. 4K offers four times the detail of standard 1080p HD, making it popular for video editing, gaming, and watching high-definition content: I upgraded to a 4K monitor and now I can't go back.
