10K resolution#History

{{Short description|Video or display resolutions with a width of around 10,000 pixels}}

10K resolution refers to a horizontal display resolutions of approximately 10,000 pixels. Unlike 4K UHD and 8K UHD, there are no 10K resolutions defined in the UHDTV broadcast standard. The first 10K displays demonstrated were ultrawide "21:9" screens with a resolution of {{resx|10240|4320}}, the same vertical resolution as 8K UHD.
