The Consumer Electronics Association announced on October 17, 2012, that "Ultra High Definition", or "Ultra HD", would be used for displays that have an aspect ratio of 16:9 or wider and at least one digital input capable of carrying and presenting native video at a minimum resolution of 3840 × 2160.
The CEA definition does allow manufacturers to use other terms—such as 4K—alongside the Ultra HD logo.

The image of the sun's corona, assembled from high-resolution images taken by the orbiter's Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI), shows active sunspot regions with protruding glowing plasma.
1080p progressive scan HDTV, which uses a 16:9 ratio. Some commentators also use display resolution to indicate a range of input formats that the display's input electronics will accept and often include formats greater than the screen's native grid size even though they have to be down-scaled to match the screen's parameters (e.g. accepting a 1920 × 1080 input on a display with a native 1366 ...
High-definition video (HD video) is video of higher resolution and quality than standard-definition. While there is no standardized meaning for high-definition , generally any video image with considerably more than 480 vertical scan lines (North America) or 576 vertical lines (Europe) is considered high-definition.
The term high definition once described a series of television systems first announced in 1933 [1] and launched starting in August 1936; [5] however, these systems were only high definition when compared to earlier systems that were based on mechanical systems with as few as 30 lines of resolution. The ongoing competition between companies and ...
