Virgin TV 4K Ultra HD
Experience the ultimate in picture quality on even the biggest screens, with incredible 4K clarity.
What are the benefits of 4K TV?
- 4K Ultra HD is towards the top end of the spectrum when it comes to picture clarity. As TVs have grown, so has the need for sharper images.
- Imagine taking a picture from an old 14-inch TV and expanding it to fit one of today’s supersized screens. You’d be hard-pressed to watch for long, thanks to the fuzzy outlines and lack of detail.
- With 4K Ultra HD, the biggest screens now display every detail with incredible clarity.
How does Ultra High Definition (UHD) compare to Full High Definition (HD)?
Ultra-high definition (UHD) is a leap in advancement from Full HD. Ultra HD has a TV resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels which is double the number of vertical pixels of Full HD, and four times the number of pixels in total (8,294,400 pixels) – hence why Ultra HD is referred to as 4K.
