8K vs 4K: What’s the difference?

How exactly do 8K TVs differ from 4K TVs? Find out all you need to know to understand the differences between 4K and 8K here.

What’s the difference between the 4K and 8K Samsung TV?

4K TVs provide truly amazing clarity, but if you’re looking for the most immersive viewing experience available, only an 8K TV can achieve this. 8K offers 4 times as many pixels than 4K and a staggering 16 times as many pixels compared to a 1080p TV. Ultimately, more pixels results in a sharper, clearer image and 8K offers up an impressive 160 pixels per inch (PPI), delivering a truly smooth and crisp image.

Is the difference between 8K and 4K noticeable?

Simply speaking, yes. As television technology continues to move forward at a rapid pace, how much detail the human eye can see is becoming a more important factor for manufacturers. Though we are getting closer, we haven’t reached the limitations of television technology quite yet as the human eye is able to perceive and notice the enhancements of 8K resolution.

You may wish to consider screen size and viewing distance to get the most out of your TV. Visit the Samsung guide on calculating viewing distance and screen size.

8K vs 4K vs 1080p: Which is the best?

We know that more pixels results in a higher resolution, so it is advised to look out for this when browsing. There are other factors to consider when searching for the best TV to suit your lifestyle, such as the latest features, design and not to forget the sound quality. All of these factors combined will result in a great viewing experience. Visit our Samsung TV Buying Guide to find the perfect TV for you.
