4K UHD allows you to get up to four times higher resolution compared to typical desktop monitors. The 4K UHD standard for consumer devices offers up to an astounding 3,840x2,160 resolution. Also known as 2160p, if you were to add up the pixels individually, the total would be a staggering 8,924,400. What used to be considered visually stunning, 1080p, can only muster up 2,073,600 pixels. And even leading-edge computers with technology that tries to emulate the human eye offers over three million less pixels than 4K UHD.
