It is so exciting to see how rapidly the telecom industry is embracing smart technology. While for a long time, all we had was Doordarshan with its nostalgic shows, today we are witnessing technological creativity and innovation to a point of constant amazement. The invention of the 4K DTH connection has erased all that we have experienced and brings us a new world of entertainment.

What is 4K?

In general, the video-based content resolution has been categorised into different kinds.

• The standard definition has a resolution ranging from 640×480 pixels and 720×576 pixels.
• HD has a resolution of 1280×720 pixels
• Full HD has a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels.
• Ultra-HD, also known as 4K, has a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels.

Ultra HD/4K has a resolution at least 4 times sharper than that of 4K. So you can imagine how good the picture quality is likely to be. The problem, however, is to get 4K content. It is quite impossible to download 4K content. Have a look at the commonly used videos to know which resolution they are in.

• DVD videos use the standard definition
• Blu-Ray videos use Full HD
• YouTube and other online streaming services give content from the resolution range varying between 144p to 2160p.

When you download a video, it can be in any of the resolutions you prefer. However, you cannot expect to get 4K resolution with the current internet speeds, fair usage policies etc in India.

Why are 4 K set-top boxes important?

As we saw above, streaming or downloading videos in 4K resolution is almost impossible. This is why 4K set-top boxes have a great fan base. The whole video picture flows smoothly without major interruptions or time lag.

View 4K content on 4K TV screens

We have seen the DTH service providers who offer such wonderful quality content. Apart from their contribution, what would make your viewing experience an incomparable one?

4K content should be viewed on a 4K TV screen. The powerful impact of Ultra High 4K content is going to hit you only when you view it on your TV screen more than 50 inches.

Else the minute details will not be produced accurately. So unless you are sitting just next to the TV screen, which is never recommended, you should try getting a bigger 4K resolution TV set.

Cost of 4K resolution TV set

As technology advances, so does the price. 4K resolution TV sets are quite expensive. Sony gives out an A 65-inch 4K for around Rs. 4 lakh. You don’t have to worry. Now due to the popularity of 4K content streaming, some other brands have come into the arena.

Micromax has come up with a 4K TV which is much more affordable. This TV Set is available starting at Rs. 39,900.

Techie newsSharp, LG, Panasonic, & Samsung have already come up with ideas for 8K-capable TVs. How cool is that!
