Our TV viewing experiences have become richer than the last decade. All thanks to various technologies like Ultra HD or 4K. 4K is not a new technology, and it has made a debut during 2013-2014.

An Introduction to 4K Technology

4K is an Ultra HD ( High Definition) technology that provides 4 times more clarity than a full-HD ( 1920 x1080P). A full HD TV comprises almost 2 million pixels, whereas 4K format packs 8 million pixels. This results in a sharper and clear picture, with a perfect detailing and depth. Most 4K TVs are operated in 3860 X 2160 p resolution. However, these specifications may vary across various devices. Many advanced 4K TVs possess high frame rates, which deliver clarity and naturality to the images, thereby making TV viewing a realistic experience.

If not, you should be. The first thing, you will require is a television that supports a 4K format. 4K is best viewed on a 50-inch TV or above. There are various 4K projectors, too. The televisions smaller than 50-inch may not reproduce the sharpness or color detailing. The larger screens are known to produce sharp images, due to their higher resolution.

4K Technology is Gaining Popularity, Here’s the Reason Why

YouTube is one of the largest repositories of 4K content. A fast and reliable broadband connection is the only requirement if you already own a 4K screen. There are also lots of NetFlix Series that can be viewed in 4K format. Additionally, there are various DTH players (Videocon and Tata Sky) offering at least one 4K channel. Also, you can also watch some interesting 4K content on a video app – Vimeo.
•  Lots of TVs with Content: In India, 4K TV gained popularity during the 2015 ICC World Cup. The matches were broadcasted by Videocon d2h and Tata Sky. These industry giants ruled the market for a few years. However, today the scene has changed, there are many brands like LeEco Push that are providing creative content. This means there is still a scope to think beyond a DTH or a cable connection.
•  Content Creation Has Gathered Pace: Content creation for 4K is much like other TV technologies, but the processing is not the same. Today, content creators are using powerful processors to process 4K content. Reducing prices of powerful compressors and PCs have significantly contributed to the popularity of a 4K content.
