YouTube Adds 3072p

[Imran]

Youtube has released video formats including the Super HD 3072p format. That’s right. The standalone open source YouTube downloader now allows you to download YouTube videos at the eye-watering 4096×3072 resolution.

What's the point of this when only, TV can get to that resolution?

This made a bit problem until now from some users having lower mediocre internet speed and in the case the current HD is really fine unless transforming to be crystallize video already.

About bloody time.

My new 4K wall mounted television has been needing this.

Was getting sick of having to use that 1080p garbage...

Thanks!

McLovin, current HDTV reach 1080p, these newer 4K devices are 3072p. The PS4 will handle 4K movies (not games), and there are a few 4K devices out on the market, with Apple planning to release an iTV (or along those lines in the coming future).

But yes, I don't think higher resolutions are useful for everyday use.

Eyefinity could make use of it too

After 2-3 years they also produce 5400p resolution for HighFi Super HD....

Yes and you will need 8 GB of RAM and a core i7 processor to watch it without your computer crashing.
