What is 4k technology?

A 4K display is one with at least 8 million active pixels. For televisions,

that resolution has standardized to 3,840 by 2,160. Digital cinema 4K (the
resolution in 4K movie theaters) is slightly higher at 4,096 by 2,160. 4K resolution,
at least the way most TV companies define it, is 3840 x 2160 pixels, or 2160p. To
put that in perspective, a Full HD 1080p image is only 1920 x 1080. 4K screens
have about 8 million pixels, which is around four times what your current 1080p
set can display. he term "4K" is generic and refers to any resolution with a
horizontal pixel count of approximately 4,000.[3]: 2  Several different 4K
resolutions have been standardized by various organizations.

The terms "4K" and "Ultra HD" are used more widely in marketing than "2160p".
While typically referring to motion pictures, some digital camera vendors have
used the term "4K photo" for still photographs, making it appear like an especially
high resolution even though 3840×2160 pixels equal approximately 8.3
megapixels, which is not especially high for still photographs.

What is PPI

Pixels per inch (PPI) is a measurement used to define the resolution of a computer
display. This metric evaluates the picture/image quality that a particular computing
or output display device is able to display.

Pixels per inch is also known as pixel density. various implementations in different
devices. It is entirely dependent on the display resolution capability of the display
adapter. In computer display devices, PPI is calculated by dividing the diagonal
resolution of the display device by its diagonal size in inches. For example, a
display monitor with 12-inch width and 9-inch height has a PPI of 85 in both the
horizontal and vertical directions. Higher resolution will result in more PPI.
Similarly, the more the PPI the better the image views will be. This is true for both
for computers and printing devices.

How to calculate PPI?

Follow These Two Steps to Calculate PPI:

 1. Use the Pythagorean Theorem and the screen width and height in pixels to
calculate the diagonal length in pixels:

diagonal=SQRT width2+height2

Use the formula to calculate PPI, dividing the length of the diagonal in pixels by
the length of the diagonal in inches
PPI=diagonal in pixels
diagonal in inches

he number of pixels per inch or PPI tells you how many pixels are in a 1 inch line
on a display screen. The PPI will be the same whether it's a horizontal or vertical or
diagonal inch because pixels are square and therefore symmetric. If a display does
not have square pixels then this calculator does not apply.

You can use the same PPI formula above to calculate pixels per centimeter, PPcm.
Just substitute cm for inches to find PPcm.

How to Calculate PPI2 or Pixels per Square Inch

Multiply PPI × PPI to get pixels per square inch. The number of pixels in a square
inch represents the resolution or pixel density of an area of one square inch.
Substitute 1 cm for 1 inch to find pixels per square centimeter or PPcm2.

The average human eye (20/20) can see 300 microradians of visual acuity and has
a near point of 25 cm. That works out to 75 microns, or 338 pixels per inch. But
that doesn't mean you can't tell dots are there, it just means you can't see the white
space between two dots.

People who test camera lenses have long known that high contrast bars, lines or
sometimes dots can be falsely resolved, but if you count the number of line pairs,
in the image, it is not the same number as in the original object. This is called
aliasing, and you can see that there are lines in something below the actual
resolution limit.
Further, some people are fortunate enough to have 20/10 vision and some people
have a near point closer than 25 cm.

So here is the conclusion, the average person might be able to see jaggies on text if
not anti-aliased at 350 ppi but would not be able to resolve more actual useful
information.

700 ppi would do the same for someone with 20/10 vision.

To use pixels that cannot be anti-aliased and still avoid all jaggies (such as
printing) you are going to need 1000 to 1200 ppi. This is because you can detect
things beyond the resolution limit if the contrast is high enough. (You can see stars
even through they are far below your resolution limit.)

Just because you can see jaggies at 700 ppi does not mean you have a visual acuity
of 20/10 any more than seeing a star means you have a visual acuity of 20/1.
