UHD
Beyond full HD
UHD stands for ultra-high definition, a display resolution standard offering significantly more pixels than standard HD.
The term typically refers to 4K resolution (3840 × 2160 pixels), though it also encompasses 8K.
UHD appears in marketing for televisions, monitors, and streaming services: The new TV supports UHD streaming.
Often used interchangeably with 4K in consumer contexts.
