The difference between 1080P and 4K Ultra HD


Most of you have heard of 1080P, and now there is 4K Ultra HD or also called 4K UHD which means the same thing.

The P in 1080P stands for progressive scan, and 1080 stands for 1,920 horizontal pixels x 1,080 vertical pixels. You have the same number of pixels whether your TV has a 40" screen, or an 80" screen. On an 80 or 90" screen,  the pixels now must cover a much larger area meaning the picture will not be as crisp, and when viewing the 80 or 90" at the same distance away as the 40", the larger one seems a little blurry. So what do we do?

UHD is actually different than 4K. UHD gives you 3,840 horizontal pixels x 2,160 verticle pixels. This has more than twice as many pixels as your 1080P. 4K  has 4,096 x 2.160 pixels, which is now 4 times as many as your 1080P. So now on your larger screens, the pixels are not spread out, giving you the sharpest picture you have ever seen.

I personally upgraded to a 75" 4K UHD, and the difference is amazing.
