Why a 4K Projector Is a Must-Have?

By XGIMI Tech - 2022-03

Individuals often desire to recreate a cinematic experience in the comfort of their living room, and a 4K home projector can help make this possible. The pixel density of 4K is often considered the most natural. In-display, 4K refers to horizontal resolutions of about 4000 pixels.

There are mainly two kinds of 4K projectors: True 4K and Enhanced 4K.

Both deliver 4K content, but there is a slight difference when pixels are concerned. True 4K home projectors deliver a 3840 × 2160 resolution with 8.3 million distinct pixels for each frame. Enhanced 4K adopts a more limited and slower version of technology, which mainly displays 4.1 megapixels but is fired twice to show seemingly 8.3 megapixels. Both 4K projectors produce excellently detailed images setting them apart from other projectors.

In terms of quality, details, sharpness, and other aspects, 4K projectors remain superior. As it stands, 4K UHD is the best projector resolution for several reasons. Images look more precise and more realistic, and less pixelated. Another reason for the superiority of these projectors is that they offer precise motion. The pixel shifting ability of these devices contributes immensely to this happening. 4K home projectors are highly suitable for watching movies as actions are displayed crisply and clearly.
