Those screens are about 300 pixels per inch.
4K STREAMING BANDWIDTH PRO
Even Apple’s Retina Display maxes out at about 2K (although a 15″ MacBook Pro is close to 3K). There are no 4K tablets or smartphone screens. Which is very close to your face in order to see any noticeable difference.

Can you imagine 4K on a 10-inch tablet screen? Rtings suggests that if you’ve got a 20″ UDHTV you need to be about 1.75 feet away from it, at 10 inches one could extrapolate that down to perhaps a foot or so. Now, for streaming video, which is done much of the time on small screens like smartphones and tablets, are you going to be able to see a difference? Probably not, at least, not for some time.
4K STREAMING BANDWIDTH 720P
They seem extremely bright and the images are indeed quite a deal better than 720p and 1080p for that matter. But if you’ve been lucky enough to attend a CES in the past couple years, you’ve seen a 4K TV in action. Television prices are ridiculously high still, most people won’t be buying them this year, maybe not even next year. How many of you have a 4K screen currently? Not many I’ll wager. It’s true that TV manufacturers seem to latch on to something new every year and then cram it down the throats of consumers, see 3DTV.ĭo we need it? Sure, the content will look all that much better, for the consumer that has a 4K screen and a setup that will allow the 4K content to get to the screen. Why Do We Need it?īecause the television manufacturers say so, might be the thought on the minds of many. If you do a small bit of looking, you will find that the human eye goes way beyond 8.3 megapixels, so asking whether or not the human eye can perceive the difference between 1080 and 4K has already been established. In comparison to current 1080 resolutions or roughly 2.1 megapixels, 4K will be roughly 8.3 megapixels, about four times as much.

Netflix will stream 4K sometime in 2014 reportedly, no specifications. Streaming Video – YouTube 4096 × 3072 (12.6 megapixels, aspect ratio 4:3), Vimeo 4096 × 3072 to be uploaded.4K Ultra HD – 3840 pixels × 2160 lines (8.3 megapixels, aspect ratio 16:9) – for UHDTV.

There are a couple variants of the 4K resolution. What is 4K Resolution In A Nutshell?ĤK is a variety of new resolutions coming out that pretty much center around a 4000 pixel side. So, what is it? Why do we need it? What does it mean for streaming video? And what does it mean for digital video advertising? All this and more are right inside my friends so come with me as we crank up the video resolution to 11, or rather 4000 (give or take). Smart TVs are on the rise, 3DTVs are floundering and now the industry is pushing out 4K to the masses.
