It`s almost uncomfortable to follow all the technical progress we are witnessing almost every day. We didn’t have a decent rest from 4k, and there is already 8k available. Only a few years ago, when the talk about 8k started, there was a small number of people that believed that it was needed, due to really quality resolutions of 4k. A few years in the future, we see that the progress doesn`t need approval from anybody, it just happens, and people use it. That`s pretty much it.

We are sure that 8k doesn`t resemble anything that you have seen before. It is the clearest picture you will see. Period. Just imagine a 4k resolution multiplied by four. If you need a measure, no problem. What do you think about 7680×4320? Impressive, is it? Also, if you want a number of pixels, we can tell you that it has over 30 million pixels. We don`t think that we need to point out that you need to have a very large screen to have a proper 8k resolution. It is common sense.
Its name comes from its image`s 8k pixels. Of course, this number is not exact, but it is around that number. At certain specification papers,it is branded as Ultra HD. So, a high number of people calls it Ultra HD 8k. Sounds powerful, doesn`t it? As we said, its resolution is 7680×4320, and people call it 3420p. The same reasons were for people calling Full HD a 1080p. You can see how much of a difference makes 8k in comparison to 4k.
Does This Number of Pixels Matter in Reality?

Yes, it matters. When you are using 1080p you are having a 2-megapixel image before you. This is not even close to modern smartphones. The 4k technology had eight megapixels, which for that time was pretty high, but as we said, the technology always improves. When it comes to 8k, you have a 33-megapixel image. Use the simplest mathematical operations and see how is that different to 4k. Do you see what the differences are? We are sure that you do.
