32K resolution
32K resolution refers to a display resolution of 30720x17280 for an aspect ratio of 16:9. This doubles the pixel count of 16K in each dimension, for a total of 530.8 megapixels (530,841,600 pixels), 4x as many pixels than 16K resolution. It has 16 times as many pixels as 8K resolution, 64 times as many pixels as 4K resolution and 128 times the pixels as 1080p resolution.
There are plans from different groups to start implementing 32K technology. While there are a few cameras that can shoot in 32K resolution,[1] 8K still does not have widespread usage as 1080p and 4K do. There are less than 3% of TVs using 8K.[2]
Two limiting factors in 32K are screen resolution and CPU/GPU capability.[3]
History
Development
In 2018 Sony installed a 16K screen into the front of a cosmetics store in Yokohama, south of Tokyo. The 63 ft widescreen (19.2m) screen is believed to be the largest 16K screen yet. Sony has plans to make the product available, in custom sizes, for well-heeled consumers. Now they are working on developing a 32K Display.[4][5]
Currently, 32K resolutions can be run using multi-monitor setups with AMD Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround using 16 8K TVs or Monitors.

Gaming
Currently, gaming at 32K is very unlikely to be possible. To achieve the resolution, 16 8K TVs or Monitors in a multi-monitor setups with AMD Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround and a very powerful computer are required. Even through the RTX 3090 can only output a maximum of 8K, using 2 of them in SLI may allow gaming at 32k Resolution. By 2042, Xbox plans to have 32K resolution and holography on their gaming systems.[8]
Editing
Currently only Blackmagic Designs DaVinci Resolve 17 supports editing at 32K resolution.[9]
