DIRECTV 4K Ready TV Partners

n DIRECTV 4K Ready TVs support 4K picture quality—almost 4X the definition of HD! n DIRECTV 4K Ready TVs are available from Samsung (2014 Smart UHD 4K model only) n It is not advisable to connect the Genie to the 4K TV. It is strongly recommended to

connect the Genie to another, non-4K TV on the Whole Home network for best results.

What is 4K?n 4K is a type of video broadcast quality that delivers four times the picture resolution of 1080p Full HD, that’s eight million

pixels compared to two million pixels. 4K is the highest resolution signal available for in-home movies and TV.

What are the advantages of 4K?n Increased resolution: 4K enhances picture quality by reducing gaps between pixels (called the “screen door” effect)

and visible pixels (called “jaggies”). This sharpens detail and shows smoother lines so that even up-close images seem clearer, more realistic, and less pixilated.

n Enhances your viewing experience: 4K resolution allows you to sit closer to a screen and/or view a larger screen without seeing pixilation of scenes. By enabling superior picture quality on large screens and enhanced picture quality even up close, 4K resolution gives you more freedom in your home to sit wherever you like and watch on a larger screen without compromising clarity.
