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 on August 2018.[7]

Sony has introduced a 17-foot-tall by 64-foot–wide commercial 16K display at NAB 2019 that is set to be released in Japan.[8][9]
