We have been waiting to roll out the 4K option. The resolution (even on Youtube) is stunning. It calls for new camera techniques and editing routines. Here you go, give it a try in this test video.
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

I was sold on 4K in February when I saw a 2160p vs. 1080p on Sony's Youtube channel. I use a NVIDIA GTX 660 graphics card and with 1080p max resolution . You could easily see the difference in the test videos.
