Part One: What is 4K TV?

4K TV is definitely the future of high-resolution television. The term 4K is derived from the movie industry designation for the professional format of 4096 x 2160 pixels. Consumer electronics equipment uses a slightly lower resolution than 4K, known as Ultra HD or UHD. 4K Ultra HD TVs measures 3840 x 2160 pixels and offers exactly four times the picture resolution of 1080 Full HD, the current standard of high-resolution television.
