The Register reports that the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has “agreed a draft new Recommendation on the technical details for ‘Ultra High Definition Television’,” including technical details for both 4K (3840 x 2160) and 8K (7680 x 4320) displays.
Christoph Dosch, Chairman of ITU’s R Study Group 6 said in a statement that “This is clearly a major achievement for ITU-R Study Group 6 of which we can be proud. The Recommendation means that organizations around the world can safely begin work to make UHDTV a reality.”
