SUHD vs. UHD: These are the differences
In addition to UHD televisions from various manufacturers, there are also SUHD models from Samsung. In this practical tip, we show you what the difference between the resolutions is.
SUHD vs. UHD: what's the difference?
UHD televisions are available from all major manufacturers, SUHD is an in-house development from Samsung.
- UHD means "Ultra High Definition". This corresponds to a resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels with an aspect ratio of 16: 9.
- UHD thus offers a four times higher resolution than HD (high definition) and a 20 times higher than SD (standard definition).
- What the S in SUHD stands for is unclear. Behind it is a technology from Samsung.
- Sasmung's SUHD televisions have the same resolution as those with UHD, but rely on the so-called "nano-crystal color" technology.
- According to Samsung, this technology can display a larger color space and finer color gradations.
- This means that SUHD televisions have a color depth of 10 bits, the common UHD televisions have a color depth of 8 bits.
- This can be seen from a better contrast and more saturation.
- SUHD is therefore not a new resolution standard, but a product name from Samsung.
