    Put simply, a 4K TV is a TV with 4K resolution. The “K” in 4K stands for Kilo (1000), meaning a TV that has achieved a resolution of almost 4,000 pixels wide (3840 x 2160), which is four times the total pixel count of Full HD displays (1920 x 1080). HD resolution is often referred to as 1080p, while 4K is called 2160p.
    4K screens have a resolution of 3840 x 2160, which is also sometimes called Ultra High Definition (UHD). A 4K screen has four times as many pixels as Full HD, the previous standard that most people know, which allows it to display more visual information. Even if your 4K TV isn't physically bigger, it has more pixels, and a better resolution.
