What is the difference between Ultra HD and 4K?
An Ultra HD TV is almost the same as a 4K television. The only difference is the number of horizontal pixels, which are slightly wider in the 4K television. This is because 4K uses cinema and film formats (widescreen).
Because these terms are virtually the same, and you can watch 4K images on an Ultra HD TV without any problems, these terms are often used interchangeably in the television world. Below is a brief explanation of these two types of televisions.
Ultra HD, also called UHD (Ultra High Definition), refers to the resolution of the television. The Ultra HD resolution is 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is slightly less than cinema 4K. In addition, an Ultra HD television also has more realistic colors and a higher response speed than a television with Full HD.
4K means a resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels, which is 4x the resolution of Full HD. A Full HD television has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. 4K is the resolution that is also used in cinemas and films.
With a 4K television, the pixels are even smaller, which makes the image even sharper and more detailed. The difference is mainly visible with large televisions (55 inches and larger). Do you want advice on which screen size suits you? You can read that on our television advice page:
