Consumer Benefits of 8K Ultra HD

  • 8K Ultra HD achieves a horizontal and vertical resolution of 7680 × 4320 pixels—33 million total—meaning four times greater resolution than 4K.
  • Smart TV means content streamed to the TV has additional picture detail.
  • 8K Ultra HD Televisions use HDMI 2.1 to deliver full resolution video quality from a connected source.
  • Upscaling technology enhances SD, HD and 4K video content. AI in 8K Ultra HD sets compares several frames that come before and after to recognize the scene, offering enhanced clarity and sharpness.
  • Wider color gamut and HDR (High Dynamic Range) technologies (like Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG) means the dark parts are darker and the bright parts brighter. Colors become more vibrant, and you see more detail in shadows.
