8K TV

Extremely high resolution

8K TV refers to a television with a display resolution of approximately 8,000 horizontal pixels—specifically 7680 × 4320, or sixteen times the pixels of standard HD.

The format promises extraordinary detail and clarity, though content shot in native 8K remains scarce: The 8K TV looked stunning in the showroom, but there's almost nothing to watch on it yet.
