I was interested in watching a 4k video just to see how it is !!! Just for the wow factor.

I have a 1360 X 768 monitor and i know that the 4k clip will need to be scaled down. But can any one tell me if any hardware or software requirements exist in order to play it ???

If it's in youtube you'll see a difference but otherwise no

If im not mistaken that monitor would not have a high enough resolution to even watch a 4k video.

4K playback also depends on your GPU greatly. I have a laptop with a HD 6630m and a 1366X768 screen that is bought to it's knees when I play 4K through youtube. Also I don't think you can actually download raw 4K to your PC.

Quote me to get a reply!

4K is just a video resolution... All software that can play video can also play 4K video... You'll just need a decent computer and it'll run just fine. Using a player than can leverage GPU accelerated decoding of the video will make it easier for your PC to play it though....

Cheers,

I don't understand why people seem to think you can watch a video in a resolution greater than the screen you're watching it on <-<
