”’32K resolution”’ refers to a [[display resolution]] of approximately 32,000 pixels horizontally. A resolution of 30720 × 17280 for an aspect ratio of [[16:9 aspect ratio|16:9]] is speculated to be standardized. This doubles the pixel count of [[16K resolution|16K]] in each dimension, for a total of 530.8 [[Pixel#Megapixel|megapixels]] (530,841,600 pixels), 4 times as many pixels as the 16K resolution. It has 16 times as many pixels as [[8K resolution|8K]] resolution, 64 times as many pixels as [[4K resolution|4K]] resolution, 256 times the pixels as [[1080p|Full HD or 1080p]] resolution, and 576 times the pixels as [[720p|HD or 720p]] resolution.

According to scientist and photographer Roger N. Clark, the theoretical maximum [[Image resolution|resolution]] of the human eye (assuming 20/20 vision) is approximately 576 [[megapixels]] if assuming only a 120 degree field of view, which is 32K resolution exactly at 32000 × 18000.<ref name=HumanEyeMPRNC>{{cite web |website=ClarkVision |title=Notes on the Resolution and Other Details of the Human Eye |url=https://clarkvision.com/articles/eye-resolution.html |date=2018-12-28 |first=Roger |last=Clark |access-date=2025-11-07 |archive-date=2025-11-07 |archive-url=https://archive.is/EUmZg}}</ref> However, the human eye’s actual field of view is about 180 degrees.<ref name=HumanEyeMPRNC/> Per Clark’s formula, the human eye’s actual maximum [[Image resolution|resolution]] therefore equals 180 * 180 * 60 * 60 / (0.3 * 0.3), which is 1,296MP. For only a single snapshot-length glance, Clark estimates that the resolution of the human eye is around 5 to 15 [[megapixels]] (a range which includes both [[4K resolution|4K]] and [[8K resolution|8K]]), due to certain flaws of the human eye.<ref name=HumanEyeMPRNC/>

There are plans from different groups to start implementing 32K technology. While there are a few cameras that can shoot in 32K resolution,<ref name=”:0″ /> even [[8K resolution|8K]] still does not have as widespread usage as [[1080p]] and [[4K resolution|4K]] do. There are less than 3% of televisions supporting [[8K resolution|8K]] (with only some [[Ninth generation of video game consoles|9th generation gaming consoles]] supporting it), and none using 16K.<ref name=”:1″ />
