4K video is here, give it a try!

Looks very good.

I got excited, then remembered my display is only 1080p. Duh.

I was surprised my computer/monitor even played the 4k signal. It had some judder, but it played. Of course, my monitor isn't 4k so the effect is old fashioned hi def.

I do think all these manufacturers though are jumping the gun.
The graphic processing hardware is pretty intense, requires 4x more bandwidth/data streamed, and requires the film and tv industry to film in 4k otherwise just upscaling.

The graphic processing hardware may be more related to gaming/rendering/texturing/etc rather than playing back video related content, I just know current GPUs cannot play any modern games at 4k let alone 1600p at decent framefrates (and that is using 2 top of the range GPUs combined).

Peter, great your recording in 4k as nice to hear about someone's experience; you notice any hardware considerations for consumers and TV/monitors?
I assume it is more game/graphics related rather than video but curious if there is still some kind of major overhead.
Anyone else with 4k TV/monitors and experience using them?
Part of this I would say is the digital-video options within the TV/monitor.
Thanks

That was my experience as well.

Yeah agree visually stunning.
Peter, so runs very smooth without any slowdowns/judder/artefact on the screen/monitor?
Thanks
