#Difference between hd and full hd tv tv#

Some manufacturers are already pushing 5K (5,120 x 2,880), or 8K (7,680 x 4,320), but even on the most massive screens it's not clear whether the human eye can actually tell the difference - so whether these formats are actually ever used remains to be seen. The most important difference between a Full HD TV and an Ultra HD TV is that the latter is able to display a sharper image. Those are the main terms you're going to come across in your online travels but other display resolutions are out there - Wikipedia has a comprehensive list. You're much more likely to see this resolution on big screen monitors and television sets.

There are so many pixels in 4K - more than 8 million - that there's not much point in packing them into a smartphone display (though some have tried). Many hardware makers put a 4K UHD label on their goods just to cover all their bases, while technically speaking 2160p could also be used to mean both types of 4K and UHD. Some people like to keep the distinction between 4K and UHD clear, but the term 4K is now used so frequently for gaming consoles and TVs that everyone uses it as shorthand for the 3,840 x 2,160 resolution. UHD, or Ultra High Definition, means exactly the same thing - 3,840 by 2,160 pixels. 4K first arrived as a cinema standard with 4,096 by 2,160 pixels, hence the 4K name, but in consumer electronics it's morphed to mean 3,840 by 2,160 pixels - so there's no four thousand in the spec but it is four times the size of Full HD (you can fit four Full HD screens inside a 4K one).
