Jeffrey, what kind of Internet connection do you have? And do your 4k videos spend any time buffering?
To stream 4k video you need close to 1gbit connection as 1 minute of video takes up 1gbyte of space uncompressed. Who has that kind of speed in USA? Only select few.
I have 40Mb fibre optic. Occasionally get buffering but not often. My router is next to my TV and hard wired with CAT 7Jeffrey, what kind of Internet connection do you have? And do your 4k videos spend any time buffering?
Not totally accurate.. All you need is a router that supports AC. They are available from $125. up. I have an Apple Airport Extreme AC router. It transmits to my AC enabled notebook @ 864 Mbps which is fast enough for 4K. AC routers are spec'd to 1000 Mbps but I was never able to get that speed.So if you want to watch 4k at your house via wireless, you would need to upgrade your router that supports 4K streaming and that costs around $300 and if you are doing via hard wire you need to upgrade to Cat 7 cables..
And it looks you tube took the option of 4k from their choices ,, wonder why,,
And how many here have 4k tvs to take advantage of this technology?
... but it's worthless if you don't have the necessary storage space. (At least until it can be transferred)
This is like driving a Ferrari on residential street.
