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

Currently, 16K resolutions can be run using multi-monitor setups with AMD Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround.

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.

Linus Tech Tips released a series of videos in 2017 attempting to play video games at 16K using sixteen 4K monitors.

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.
