An 8K TV is a TV that has a screen with 7,680 horizontal and 4,320 vertical pixels for a total of approximately 33 million pixels. The "K" in 8K stands for Kilo (1000), meaning a TV that has achieved a horizonal resolution of about 8,000 pixels.

8K TV is the highest resolution TV that has been released recently among UHD (ultra high definition) TVs. With four times more pixels than a 4K TV—another type of UHD resolution—8K TVs show a sharper and more detailed picture quality. This is because in 8K TVs pixels are so small they cannot be distinguished even from close up, making highly detailed images a reality.

As more 8K content is becoming available, now is the time to invest in 8K products. Whether you’re a movie buff, a gamer, NFT collector or just want the lastest TV technology, an 8K TV is a great way to immerse yourself in the world of high-resolution content.

In 2019, Samsung introduced our 8K TV with its own specialized 8K AI Upscaling technology. The AI Upscaling technology uses a method that collects and learns a wide variety of content characteristics by type and then stores them in a database. It later uses that database to process similar image types again, making for a much more sophisticated upscaling process.
