This is bogus. YouTube doesn’t even give videos enough bitrate for 720p, let alone 1080p or 4K. The commenter that said this is not even DVD quality is correct. There are artifacts all over the place due to the excessive compression / low bitrate. Also, if they really wanted to show off high resolution, they should make the player have a 1:1 (unscaled) display mode where you can pan around, or at least view the center, if your display isn’t high enough res to view the video at the resolution you’ve selected.

Maybe in 5-10 years YouTube will allow enough bitrate for 4K. For starters, how about at least supporting 720p properly?

It looks like Google have corrected the article *again*

“At 4096 x 2304 pixels, 4K is over four times the size of 1080p.”

So it’s 2304p.

Just a comment for the IMAX reference: They use (2) 2k projectors double-stacked together for brightness… not to achieve 4k of resolution.

4096×3072 is 3072p NOT 4096p
