On April 14, 2008, Red Digital Cinema launched one of the first cameras capable of video capture at 5K resolutions. Red Epic uses the Mysterium X sensor which has a resolution of 5120{{resx}}2700 and can capture at a framerate of up to 100{{nbsp}}fps.{{cite web|url=https://gizmodo.com/379537/red-launches-5k-red-epic-flagship-camera|title=Red launches 5K Red Epic flagship camera|first=Adrian|last=Covert|publisher=Gizmodo|date=April 14, 2008|access-date=April 1, 2015}} Cameras with 5K resolution are used occasionally for recording films in digital cinematography.

Some photographic still cameras such as DSLRs can exceed 5K resolution when capturing still images, but not when capturing video. For example, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV announced in August 2016 has a maximum resolution of {{resx|6720|4480}} pixels (around 30 megapixels in a {{ratio|3:2}} aspect ratio) which is used for high resolution still images, but it can only capture video at a maximum of {{resx|4096|2160}} and a framerate of 30{{nbsp}}Hz.

Samsung first demonstrated its 105-inch UN105S9W curved OLED TV at CES 2014. While Samsung lists the UN105S9W as a 4K UHD TV, it actually has native resolution of {{resx|5120|2160}} (a {{ratio|64:27}} or {{ratio|≈21:9}} aspect ratio) which classifies it as a 5K display due to the horizontal pixel count of ≈5,000.{{cite web |url=http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/samsung-5k-201407303870.htm|title=Samsung & LG Begin Sales of 105" 21:9 4K, Nay, 5K TV |first=Mike |last=Wheatley |publisher=HDTVTest |date=July 30, 2014 |access-date=April 6, 2015}}

Jupiter Systems in California was first to launch a full line of 5K resolution 21:9 large LCDs named Pana for the enterprise market in 2020, with engineering development that traced back to 2018. They were touch and non-touch models, with screen sizes 105" and 81", as well as a 34" desktop. In 2021, Jupiter continued with its exclusive 21:9 product offering by launching an ultra fine pitch direct view MicroLED product line, starting with 0.7mm pitch at 165" through 1.2mm pitch at 281", all in 5K 21:9 configurations.

On September 5, 2014, Dell unveiled the first monitor with a 5K resolution, the UltraSharp UP2715K. This monitor featured a 27-inch {{resx|5120|2880}} display, giving it a pixel density of around 218{{nbsp}}px/in.{{cite web |url=https://www.engadget.com/2014/09/05/dell-5k-ultrasharp-display |title=Dell outs 'world's first' 5K display with a massive 5,120 × 2,880 resolution |publisher=Engadget |date=September 5, 2014 |access-date=April 1, 2015}} The monitor only supported DisplayPort version 1.2, which is limited to {{resx|5120|2880}} at 30{{nbsp}}Hz. To work around this, the UP2715K implemented a system by which the bandwidth of two DisplayPort connections could be combined to achieve 60{{nbsp}}Hz, using a picture-by-picture mode to virtually treat the display as two smaller {{resx|2560|2880}} monitors side-by-side and driving each half with a separate DisplayPort connection.

The 24-inch 2021 iMac has a {{ratio|16|9}} resolution of {{resx|4480|2520}}, which is considered neither 4K or 5K but 4.5K.

In order to fully utilize a display with a 5K resolution, the source and display both require support for advanced connection interfaces, since traditional interfaces such as VGA or DVI don't provide adequate bandwidth for 5K resolutions at acceptable framerates. The earliest interface to support {{resx|5120x2880}} at 30{{nbsp}}Hz or above was DisplayPort, using the HBR2 transmission speed introduced in version 1.2. This could support {{resx|5120x2880}} at 30{{nbsp}}Hz with 30{{nbsp}}bit/px color depth. HBR2 was first implemented in the AMD Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 in October 2010.{{cite news |url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/3987/amds-radeon-6870-6850-renewing-competition-in-the-midrange-market/3|title=AMD's Radeon HD 6870 & 6850: Renewing Competition in the Mid-Range Market |first=Ryan |last=Smith |date=October 21, 2010 |access-date=October 27, 2016}} NVIDIA introduced HBR2 support on their products with the Kepler family of GPUs, starting with the GeForce GTX 680 in March 2012.

HDMI gained similar capability in version 2.0, which increased the maximum allowed transmission speed to 600{{nbsp}}MHz TMDS (18{{nbsp}}Gbit/s). The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, launched in late 2014, was the first graphics card to implement this capability, which was sufficient for {{resx|5120x2880}} at 30{{nbsp}}Hz with 30{{nbsp}}bit/px color depth.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 launched in mid 2016 and was the first graphics card to introduce support for the HBR3 transmission speed defined in version 1.3 of the DisplayPort standard,{{cite news |url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/10304/nvidia-announces-the-geforce-gtx-1080-1070 |title=NVIDIA Announces the GeForce GTX 1000 Series: GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 Arrive In May & June |first=Ryan |last=Smith |date=May 7, 2016 |access-date=October 27, 2016}} allowing it to support {{resx|5120x2880}} at 60{{nbsp}}Hz with 24{{nbsp}}bit/px color depth. It was followed shortly by the AMD Radeon RX 480, which introduced support for HBR3 and 600{{nbsp}}MHz HDMI transmission on the AMD side.{{cite news |url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/10446/the-amd-radeon-rx-480-preview |title=The AMD Radeon RX 480 Preview: Polaris Makes Its Mainstream Mark |first=Ryan |last=Smith |date=June 29, 2016 |access-date=October 27, 2016}}

Although 5K 60{{nbsp}}Hz over a single cable was only made possible in 2016 with the launch of the GeForce 1000 series and Radeon RX 400 series, monitors which predate version 1.3 of the DisplayPort standard such as the Dell UltraSharp UP2715K offer the ability to run at 5K 60{{nbsp}}Hz by using two HBR2 DisplayPort connections concurrently in a specialized picture-by-picture mode.{{cite news |url=http://www.digitaltrends.com/monitor-reviews/dell-up2715k-review |title=The world's first 5K monitor is here.
