The 4K technology is on the cusp of replacing the HD technology from TV screens, computer monitors, cameras, and projectors. The term 4K is used to refer to video signals with a horizontal resolution on the order of 4,000 pixels. A 4K resolution is 4096 x 2160 pixels (approximately a 1.9:1 aspect ratio). In a full HD resolution produced by the Blu-ray technology, a 4K image is composed of nearly 8.3 Million pixels, whereas a 1080p image has just more than 2 Million pixels. The 4K technology market was valued at USD 18.1 Billion in 2014 and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.8% from 2015 to 2020.

4K resolution provides four times more pixel density than that of full HD 1080p, with 8.3 Million pixels to display which enhances the picture quality along with incredibly intense colors and image details. Brilliant picture quality and vivid colors play a significant role in the growth of the 4K technology market. However, the lack of 4K content, discrepancy between screen size and viewing distance, and broadcasting problems of 4K contents are key factors limiting the growth of this market.
