Ironically, this video is in 1080p, but if that’s not good enough for you and you want 4K, we can still help. What does HDR mean? Why are there 2 kinds of HDR? Why does 4K matter? All this and more, we teach from our tiny tiny resolution.

Ash, I love your shirt!!
So basically what I got from this vid is wait until they iron out all the kinks before you invest in 4k HDR?
Ill wait another year thanks.
Can somone help me whats the right setting i have a ps4 pro and a new 4k hdr tv under my hdr game mode theres extended and nomal color gamut whats the correct gamut for hdr?
What I don't understand is what content is and will be available with these new standards. Do the new high-powered consoles upscale media? Which ones, and what media do they have an effect on?
My set's a 32", and UHD needs much more than that. Not willing to rearrange my whole gameroom and deal with motion sickness because TV makers want another rush of money like we saw with HD. The HDR format war doesn't help.
This is as confusing as I thought it would be. Not diving into 4k / HDR until my current TV kicks the bucket. Also, I enjoyed seeing the Knights of Sidonia clip in the video, thanks!
What everyone should know is you should be calling it 2160p.
4K is not even necessary in most situations. What you want to have when looking for a screen is retina quality, this means you wont see any pixels. The concept is when someone is looking farther away it is harder to see pixels so you can have a less pixel density in your screen. This means that if you have a 60 inch screen and you are 2.5 meters away you cant see any difference between 4K and full HD. It is also the reason you want to have full HD on a phone and 2K on a tablet.
If you wanna see what kind of screen you need you can use a retina calculator. It can cost you a whole lot less.
4k ? nah , HDR? even more nah , both looks cool but I'll wait it out until the next gen drops probably 2019/2020
WTF !!!! I HAVE TO GO BACK TO COLLEGE JUST TO PLAY F%@%ING VIDEO GAMES 😠
very informational… still confused lol
brazzers thumbnail
no thanks
I guess I will stick with 1080p HD for a few more years until the industry is more compliant with the 4K standard.
Theres no such thing as 4k gaming on consoles at the moment soo…
Just watched this video again. Too many variables, and too damn confusing. Im a simple man. 1080 for now. In a few years ill look into 4k once it matures and 4K doesn't negatively affect my gaming experience. Resolution isnt everything. Especially when its at the cost of visual effects in my games.
Yes mine are 2017 models! Was second thinking in the beginning of the video.
I really don't care. I'm perfectly fine with 1080p. But the industry iron out 4K and simplify its execution and then I will consider getting it. At this point in time it doesn't matter to me.
The video can be summed up in, " Get an hdr 10 UHD television for HDR console gaming". Correct?
Thanks much, sounds like HdR is worthless for Online competition.
XboxOne X: HDR10
I hope you guys walk us through HDR settings for gaming and movies these next couple of months!
This is bullshit way too many caveats
I bought a KDL55950B a couple years ago and I absolutely love it, but it's only 1080p…I want a 4k HDR for the Scorpio but I want a great gaming tv like my 950B…what are the best 4k HDR tvs NOW with great low input lag
that was confusing. I just enabled hdr to the hdmi ports on my 4k TV. connected my consoles which auto detected what my TV has. Played a movie and game with hdr support adjusted the picture quality to my liking and job done.
hell yeah it matters! lmao
Buying a 4Ktv so i have a good excuse to buy a Pro and OneX…kinda pointless to own them without a 4k HDR tv
Wot if you have 7400P?
Vizio 50 inch 4k uhd HDR supports HDR 10…..its 549.00$ on best buy
one thing that also gets on my nerves is when people do a little research and find "oh hey this is a great tv vs price." then I go "but you are going to be gaming on most of the time, so how good is its response time, refresh rate, contrast, and on and on." and then they are like "I don't know"
TCL 55" 605P awesome 4k tv
TCL 55" 605P awesome 4k tv
Horizon Zero Dawn looks like whole different game on 4K. It looks simply amazing.
4k isn't close to the stander and the new xbox one x sucks at 4k
Ss
