Q.1 By the way, what is a 4K compatible TV?

A.1 It is a television with a capacity to show four times the resolution of Full HD.

As a television screen gets larger, the area that one pixel takes up expands accordingly and any coarseness in the image becomes more apparent.
The 4K television solves this problem by providing a resolution that’s four times that of Full HD. Even when played back on a large screen, the coarseness is no longer an issue.
If you want to enjoy a high resolution image on a large screen, there is nothing more suited to the task than a 4K compatible television.

A.2 The resolution is four times that of Full HD, and the colours and brightness make it far more beautiful. It makes a great difference in small details such as subtitles.

With a 4K screen you will see details like never before. Not only in the image itself, but in subtitles or graphics where even the thinnest letters will be crisper and easier to read.

4K refers to images and videos that have four times the resolution (3840x2160) of Full HD. 4K Upscaling is a
technology that takes broadcast, DVD or Blu-ray content that are short of 4K resolution and fills in information
