Super Hi-Vision 8K TV Standard Approved by the ITU

A new ultra high-resolution broadcast television format has been approved by the UN’s communication standards setting agency, the ITU.

Broadcasts in 8K will offer a resolution of 7,680 by 4,320 pixels — roughly the equivalent of a 32 megapixel (MP) photo.

That’s 16 times as sharp as current HD TVs offering about 2MP resolutions.
