YouTube Goes 4K

@ 2010/07/10
Youtube states, "We always want videos on YouTube to be available in the highest quality possible, as creators intend. In December of last year, we announced support for 1080p, or full HD. At 3840x2160 pixels, 4K is nearly four times the size of 1080p. To view any video in a source resolution greater than 1080p, select "Original" in the video quality pulldown menu." This option in our opinion would be better left just being labeled as 4K rather than 'original' because that doesn't imply a higher resolution to most users. Nevertheless, there has been quite a lot of talk about 4K in the past and now YouTube is helping to deliver on that hype.

Wtf, who needs cinema resolution video at home ? Unless you have a nice Barco beamer at home, you can't enjoy the thrill of 4K video, or maybe if you have an Eyefinity setup with 4 HD beamers
