The world of home entertainment technology has all but standardized two impressive video technologies: Ultra HD resolution (also known as 4K) and high dynamic range (HDR).
What do 2K, 4K and 8K mean?
Ultra HD resolution offers four times the resolution of Full HD, and HDR content offers improved brightness, contrast, and color performance. A separate set of specifications unveiled by the UHD Alliance in 2016 takes these specifications even further. It’s called Ultra HD Premium.
Developed by the Ultra High Definition Alliance (UHDA), an industry working group of more than 30 brands, Ultra HD Premium is a badge or logo that helps consumers recognize which TVs, displays, or video content are designed to deliver a more robust HDR and UHD experience.
To earn the logo, products and displays must meet a certain standard for resolution, bit depth, color gamut, high-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI), and rendering. When a potential buyer sees the logo on a product, they can trust that the image quality is superior.
