HOW TO... What is 8K resolution (and when would you use it)?
A display or video format with an 8K resolution, also referred to as Super High Definition (SHD), has a resolution of 7680 by 4320 pixels. 8K has a resolution that is 16 times higher than Full HD (1920 x 1080) and four times higher than 4K (3840 x 2160). Accordingly, 8K displays and videos have four times as many pixels as 4K displays and videos, and sixteen times as many pixels as Full HD displays and videos. The fact that 8K resolution offers significantly more detail and clarity than lower resolution formats is one of its main benefits, making it perfect for use with large screen displays or in applications where high image quality is a priority. For instance, 8K resolution is frequently used in high-end home theater and display systems as well as professional video production.
