[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1651547, member: 175845"] It seems that many won't be seeing any 4K videos from Youtube or even others for quite a while yet, and I doubt that many will even be able to receive good HD quality and definitely not some of the advertised "view now" 4K (Ultra HD) unless they have the equipment but more importantly, a VERY FAST access download speed. From Google's own page: "[I]YouTube adjusts the quality of your video stream from standard definition (such as 240p or 360p) to high definition (720p or 1080p), based on the speed of your Internet connection (bandwidth). This is why you may notice that the quality of your video changes as you watch videos. …[/I]" [url]https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/91449?hl=en[/url] But more important, this: [url=http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/26/youtube-is-experimenting-with-ultra-high-def-ultra-smooth-video-playback-here-are-the-examples/]YouTube Is Experimenting With Ultra High Def, Ultra Smooth Video Playback[/url] Go ahead, give them a try and see. ;) Heck, most can't even get close to high definition now, even with a good high speed connection. Give it a try and click the youtube cogwheel when viewing and see what the best viewing options actually are. But I will admit, that even some more normal settings are still pretty impressive for viewing some videos. ;) [/QUOTE]
