<P> In 2016, Sony and Microsoft released the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One S, respectively, both of which are video game consoles that support 4K streaming and gaming, although in most cases the resolution is upscaled to 4K; the Xbox One S also features an Ultra HD Blu - ray disc drive . On November 7, 2017 Microsoft released the Xbox One X, which is capable of native 4K streaming and gaming . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section may need to be rewritten entirely to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards .

(August 2017) </Td> </Tr> <P> Though experiencing rapid price drops beginning in 2013 for viewing devices, the home cinema digital video projector market saw little expansion, with only a few manufacturers (only Sony as of 2015) offering limited 4K - capable lineups, with native 4K projectors commanding five - figure price tags well into 2015 before finally breaking the US $10,000 barrier . Critics state that at normal direct - view panel size and viewing distances, the extra pixels of 4K are redundant at the ability of normal human vision . Projection home cinemas, on the other hand, employ much larger screen sizes without necessarily increasing viewing distance to scale . JVC has used a technique known as "e-shift" to extrapolate extra pixels from 1080p sources to display 4K on screens through upscaling or from native 4K sources at a much lower price than native 4K projectors . This technology of non-native 4K entered its fourth generation for 2016 . JVC used this same technology to provide 8K flight simulation for Boeing that met the limits of 20 / 25 visual acuity . </P>

When did the first 4k tv come out
