16K resolution is a display resolution with approximately 16,000 pixels horizontally. The most commonly discussed 16K resolution is 15360 × 8640, which doubles the pixel count of 8K UHD in each dimension, for a total of four times as many pixels.[1] This resolution has 132.7 megapixels, 16 times as many pixels as 4K resolution and 64 times as many pixels as 1080p resolution.

As of June 2022, 16K resolutions can be run using multi-monitor setups with AMD Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround.[2][3]
History
In 2016, AMD announced a target for their future graphics cards to support 16K resolution with a refresh rate of 240Hz for "true immersion" in VR.[4][5][6]
Linus Tech Tips released a series of videos in 2017 attempting to play video games at 16K using sixteen 4K monitors.[3]
In 2018, US filmmaker Martin Lisius released a short time-lapse film titled, "Prairie Wind" that he produced using a 2-camera Canon EOS 5DS system he developed. Two still images were stitched together to create one 15985 × 5792 pixel image and then rendered as 16K resolution video with an extremely wide aspect ratio of 2.76∶1.[7] This is among the first known 16K videos to exist.
Innolux displayed the world's first 100-inch 16K8K (15360 × 8640) display module at Touch Taiwan in August 2018.[8]
Sony introduced a 64 by 18 foot (19.5 m × 5.5 m) commercial 16K display at NAB 2019 that is set to be released in Japan.[9][10] It is made up of 576 modules (each 360 × 360) in a formation of 48 by 12 modules, forming a 17280 × 4320 screen, with 4∶1 aspect ratio.
On June 26, 2019, VESA formally released the DisplayPort 2.0 standard with support for one 16K (15360 × 8640-pixel) display supporting 30-bit-per-pixel 4:4:4RGB/Y′CBCR-color HDR video at a refresh rate of 60Hz using DSC video compression.[11]
