A true 4K display has a resolution of 4,096×2,160 pixels, but most 4K displays you will find are actually "Ultra HD" displays with slightly lower 3,840×2,160 resolutions -- sometimes called 2160p. 5K displays have a resolution of 5,120×2,880 pixels, or about seven times the pixel density of a 1,920×1,080 display.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.4k and 5k describe the number of pixels on the screen. I've never heard of any 5k content. The vast majority or streaming/cable content is 1080p (basically 2k) or less. Unless you have particular media (movies/video games) that are 4k, any screen that is at least 1080p will work just fine.
