Approximately 6,000 (6K) pixels of horizontal resolution. Although 6K cameras are available, which offer greater resolution than 4K and more flexibility in post-production, there are no 6K TVs.

4K TVs have become mainstream while 8K TVs have come on the market. It is easier to double a resolution than to create an in-between one. In addition, TVs are a consumer product, whereas 6K cameras are generally for professional photographers.
