It took me numerous attempts to write down the new pricing structure (hopefully!) correctly, and I wouldnвЂ™t be surprised if you had to read the information at least twice before you took it all in.

But thatвЂ™s not its only problem itвЂ™s also horribly confusing.

Clearly, these sorts of displays are aimed at the professional set.The size of this price hike вЂ“ itвЂ™s an increase of 50 per cent for $7.99 subscribers вЂ“ is staggering in the context of the startlingly small steps that have characterised NetflixвЂ™s price rises over the years.

Newegg lists three displays as supporting 4K explicitly as opposed to UHD (4,096 by 2,160), but theyвЂ™ll cost you. YouвЂ™re only likely to see 2160p listed as a monitor resolution, if at all. Further complicating matters, thereвЂ™s the fact that just because a display has a 2160p vertical resolution doesnвЂ™t mean it supports a 3,840 or 4,096-pixel horizontal width.

The gap between 720p and 1080p is significantly smaller than the gap between 4K and 1080p, though how much you notice the upgrade will depend on the quality of your TV and where you sit. вЂњ2160pвЂќ implies that the resolution is double that of 1080p HD, while the actual increase is a factor of 4. The reason this didnвЂ™t happen is that the number didnвЂ™t match the size of the resolution increase. Display and broadcast resolutions have always referred to resolution in terms of horizontal lines, with the letters вЂњiвЂќ and вЂњpвЂќ referring to interlacing, which skips every other line, and progressive scan, which doesnвЂ™t: 576i (PAL), 480i (NTSC), 576p (DVD), 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and so on. The real solution would have been to abandon the 4K moniker entirely and instead use the designation 2160p. (Read: 8K UHDTV: How do you send a 48Gbps TV signal over terrestrial airwaves?) ItвЂ™s reasonable to refer to these two UHD variants as 4K UHD and 8K UHD - but, to be more precise, the 8K UHD spec should probably be renamed QUHD (Quad Ultra HD). ThereвЂ™s 3,840 by 2,160, and then thereвЂ™s a big step up, to 7,680 by 4,320, which is also called UHD. To make matters more confusing, UHD is actually split in two. But the vast majority are 3,840 by 2,160, for aВ 1.78:1 aspect ratio. Sure, there are some panels out there that are 4,096 by 2,160, which adds up to an aspect ratio of 1.9:1. ItвЂ™s not the same as the 4K resolution made above - and yet almost every TV or monitor you see advertised as 4K is actually UHD. UHD quadruples that resolution to 3,840 by 2,160.

Ultra High Definition, or UHD for short, is the next step up from whatвЂ™s called full HD, the official name for the display resolution of 1,920 by 1,080.

(See: How digital technology is reinventing cinema.) A DCI 4K stream is compressed using JPEG2000, can have a bitrate of up to 250Mbps, and employs 12-bit 4:4:4 color depth. The 4K standard is not just a resolution, either: It also defines how 4K content is encoded. 4K refers to the fact that the horizontal pixel count (4,096) is roughly four thousand. In this case, 4K is 4,096 by 2,160 and is exactly four times the previous standard for digital editing and projection (2K, or 2,048 by 1,080). The term вЂњ4KвЂќ originally derives from the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), a consortium of motion picture studios that standardized a spec for the production and digital projection of 4K content.
