Is 4k a meme?
Literally 0 content for 4k has been released this year.
Is there even blu Ray videos in 4k for sale?
>>52165647
most of the new netflix shows this year were released in 4k
it's a meme
>>52165647
4k porn is a thing
>>52165647
>Literally 0 content for 4k has been released this year
no shit retard the new year started just now
Your life is a fucking meme. Bitch.
>is ____ a meme?
What are you asking, OP? Stop being a knuckle-dragging retarded faggot.
>>52165717
it's a mix between fad and gimmick you faggot
>>52165647
Yep. Just like 1080p, 720p and 480p before it were memes.
I'll be sitting here enjoying my 240p display, pleb.
>>52165746
how can 4k be either of these things?
give me one remotely plausible excuse for thinking that "a higher resolution is a gimmick", or that it might be a fad, and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. otherwise, using "is ____ a meme" to weakly bait us into a shitstorm is just lazy faggot tactics
>>52165647
Netflix and amazon offer some 4k content and 4k bds are coming this year
The media jumped on it too early just for the sake of reporting something.
There will be a fair few 4k blurays by June.
>>52165647
It's quite irrelevant for video since there is indeed very little content, but it's amazingly sharp for everything else.
4k is irrelevant until ISP can handle it
>>52165785
Nobody actually needs or can be bothered with 4k except maybe VR people.
>>52165647
My fonts scale just fine to 4k.
>>52165658
It's about bitrate
>>52165647
More pixels is indeed a meme
- user with 2+ 1080p monitors
>>52165968
and high density screens on smartphones a meme? are you still using a 320x480 screen?
just scale all of your displays.
>>52165903
Pretty sure my ISP could handle even shitty compressed 4k content.
>>52165903
thank mr Fiber for the kick in the pants to the other ISPs.
Just bought a UHD tv literally 5 seconds ago lads
It can display UHD at 4:4:4 60hz. Feels good. As long as the up-scaling is good why would you deliberately gimp yourself by buying a lesser product?
>>52165658
Yeah at a 720p bitrate.
>>52166629
Yeah but you're also in the 99.9999999999999999999999999th percentile in the US for speed.
it is, were not ready for 4K to be standard and its still going to be a while imo. internet speeds are not fast enough for the price, graphics cards can barely push 60fps with max settings and not to mention storage, 4k content will eat up and shit load of space on hard drives
Robocop's bluray is 4k
The original, not the shit reboot

enjoy your high input lag
http://www.microcenter.com/product/453009/LED55G65RQ_55_4K_Ultra_HD_LED_TV
I got a Seiki for the same price, but the 30Hz and input lag is pissing me off. but 1080p 120Hz is godly with Battlefront.
>>52166690

hello American friend, you are not the entire world. Because you lag behind in tech doesn't mean the rest of us should gimp ourselves.

why?
>>52166716
>Because you lag behind in tech doesn't mean the rest of us should gimp ourselves.
Sadly, it is that way.
>>52166807
futureproofing.
>>52166807
Loads of reasons
>Mid to high range TVs are all 4k now
>What 4k content there is looks great
>Can pass as a computer monitor, has a similar DPI to my 27" 1080p monitors
Actually, there's no reason to buy one as a gamer since even the strongest graphics card available will struggle to reach 60 fps at 4k on high settings for the vast majority of 3D games.
>>52166690
Not really, my ISP offers 300/300 and 500/500.
Comcast offers up to 500/100
In some areas comcast now offers up to 2gbps.
If you're not in a big city, you're prolly right the ISPs just dont offer internet fast enough for 4k. But for anyone living in a big city they likely have access to 50mbps+ for $50 a month or less.
>>52166888
650Ti can do Gamecube and Wii games at 30fps.
>>52166888
>27" 1080p
Anything above 24" looks like shit at 1080p.
27" 1440p is where its at.
>>52166915
I know anon. I know.
Bunch of 1600p monitors will be the next purchase I think.
>>52166915
too expensive. 1440p never caught on outside of gaming monitors.
>>52165647
Literally 0 content for 4k has been released this year.

korea has 4k content
>>52165903
afaik 20 Mbps download is enough to stream 4k. A lot of people have those speeds.
Mostly yes, but not for desktop monitors. Theres always need for more space.
>>52167775
The quality here looks like upscaled 1080p
>>52167775
That actually looks disgusting
>>52167775
>1x
It is. Almost all 4k content on Youtube is 1080p upscaled. It's extremely easy to tell the difference too.

Did you miss the UHD UMAX on the upper right? It's native 4K. It looks a whole lot better in motion.
>>52168133
It's a animated background btw. It's not a artifact from the video or picture.
>>52168133
Koreans upload native 4K videos of performances all the time.

>4k TV smaller than 60 inches
Wew lad, you better be sitting 3 feet away from it
>>52166697
No it isn't,
Blurays are still just 1080p
It doesn't matter that the box said it was taken from a 4 k source or whatever
>>52165647
>Is 4k a meme?
For TVs, yes. For monitors, no.

Its also the best use of 4k
I use a 4k tv above my triple monitor setup. It's amazing as a computer monitor, super sharp. As for content it's sparse, but I mainly got it for the working resolution. Upscaled blurays looks as good as 1080p is going to look until we get a 4k source physical media.
>>52170764
High def porn is gross.
>>52166716
LITERALLY ALL UR 4K CONTENT IS AMERICAN
ALL THE NETFLIX, THE BLURAYS, THE PORN
USA USA USA
>>52168133
That's sharpening.
It's very common to apply sharpening even without upscaling.

THE WEEBS ARE ON IT ALREADY, THERE ARE ALSO X265 PORN ENCODES
WEEBS AND PORN ARE ALWAYS PUSHING THE ENVELOPE OF VIDEO TECHNOLOGY
THE FIRST PICTURE EVER POSTED ON THE INTERNET WAS BASICALLY DOWNBLOUSE PORN
TECHNOLOGY AND THE INTERNET IS SEXIST MISOGYNIST AND TOXICALLY MALE AT ITS CORE
>>52171102
Well it's a video codec so...
Bitrate > Resolution
>>52171155
FRAMERATE > RESOLUTION
BITRATE ONLY NEEDS TO BE SUFFICIENT, MORE OF IT GETS YOU NOTHING BUT WASTED FILESIZE
MORE RESOLUTION GETS YOU SHARPER FINER DETAIL, MORE FRAMERATE GETS YOU MORE FLUID MOTION
IT SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC THAT VIDEO IS ALWAYS GIVEN ADEQUATE BITRATE, UNFORTUNATELY THERES YIFY AND CHEAPASS STREAMING SERVICES LIKE NETFLIX, EVEN MANY QAM CABLE TV CHANNELS ARE BITSTARVED AND LOOK HORRIBLE, USUALLY THE PREMIUMS LIKE HBO SHOWTIME ARE GIVEN PROPER BITRATE
>>52169863
This tripe again. I sit a good 12-14 feet away from a 55" 4K, and the difference is quite noticeable over my previous 55" 1080p.

But goy all you have to do is buy two Nvidia™ cards and use the cloud. You don't want to be part of the 4k future?
porn and video games.
if you've got the beef to run it, most games look fucking fantastic at 4k, crispy lighted pixels.
>>52172219
OLED is the future la
>>52171323
and this is why no 4k content is out. Nobody fucking downloads shit anymore, and internet is too shit to support high bitrate 4k content.
>>52166695
Well that's no excuse to gimp the technology. The other parts of media technology need to catch up. It provides incentive.
>>52172219
THERE WERE 4K PLASMA DISPLAYS, LARGE COMMERCIAL PANELS
