4K Resolution

What even is 4K, you ask? Fair question. In simplest terms, 4K resolution means that the resolution is four times that of a normal TV or HDTV. For you, this means better everything. Better picture quality, better contrast, better whites, better blacks, better range in color. 4K makes everything on your screen look brighter and more beautiful.

If you want to lean into your inner couch-potato and enjoy TV and film to their fullest extent, 4K resolution will take you there and beyond.

HDR

HDR—high-quality range—compatible TVs are in high demand. Fortunately, most 4K TVs are HDR compatible right off the bat. HDR transforms colors on your TV. Brights are brighter, colors are richer, and darks are deeper. HDR offers a broader spectrum of color and contrast.

This probably sounds quite similar to 4K resolution, and understandably so. What sets the two apart is that 4K resolution affects your TV regardless of what you’re watching, whereas in order to watch TV in HDR, the show or movie must be HDR-compatible.
