16K resolution

The term 16K resolution refers to a display resolution with approximately 16,000 horizontal pixels. The most commonly discussed 16K resolution is 15360 × 8640, which doubles the pixel count of 8K UHD in each dimension, for a total of four times as many pixels.[1] This resolution has 132.7 megapixels, 16 times as many pixels as 4K resolution and 64 times as many pixels as 1080p resolution.

Currently, 16K resolutions can be run using multi-monitor setups with AMD Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround.[2][3]

History

In 2016, AMD announced a target for their future graphics cards to support 16K resolution with a refresh rate of 240 Hz for 'true immersion' in VR.[4][5][6]

Innolux displayed the world's first 100-inch 16K8K (15360 × 8640) display module at Touch Taiwan in August 2018.[7]

Sony introduced a 64-foot-wide by 18-foot-tall commercial 16K display at NAB 2019 that is set to be released in Japan.[8][9] It is made up of 576 modules(360x360p), in a formation of 48 by 12 modules, forming a 17280x4320p screen, with 4:1 aspect ratio.

On June 26, 2019, VESA formally released the DisplayPort 2.0 standard with support for one 16K (15360 × 8640) display @ 60 Hz with 10 bpc (30 bit/px, HDR) RGB/Y′CBCR 4:4:4 color (with DSC).

gollark: Yes, only three orders of magnitude.
