How Many Megapixels in 4K?
The number of megapixels in 4K depends on the specific 4K standard. The most common 4K standard is UHD 4K, which has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. This works out to 8.3 megapixels.
There is also a DCI 4K standard, which has a resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels. This works out to 8.85 megapixels.
In general, 4K resolution is considered to be high-quality video resolution. It is twice the resolution of Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) and four times the resolution of Standard Definition (SD) (720 x 480 pixels). This means that 4K video can provide sharper images and more detail than lower resolution video.
Here is a table of the different 4K standards and their corresponding megapixels:
| 4K Standard | Resolution | Megapixels |
|---|---|---|
| UHD 4K | 3840 x 2160 | 8.3 |
| DCI 4K | 4096 x 2160 | 8.85 |
