What is the difference between 4K UHD and 4K DCI?

As noted above, DCI 4K is 4096 × 2160, while 4K UHD is 3840 × 2160, producing a slight difference in aspect ratio rather than a significant difference in resolution. Traditional displays, such as LCD or OLED, are 3840 pixels across the screen, with each pixel being 1/3840th of the screen width.

What aspect ratio is DCI 4K?

DCI 4K is the cinema standard for 4K. Its resolution is 4096 x 2160 with a 1.896 aspect ratio (simplified to 1.89 or 1.9). A cinema projector or monitor that can display 4K will typically be displaying DCI 4K. Cinema projectors and monitors that can display DCI 2K will typically share this 1.89 aspect ratio.
