Gaming on a 4K television: is it worth it? – Apparata

Now 4K teleivise a concept is becoming, we dive into the question: what have you as a gamer to a 4K screen

Brief refresher. 4k, also called Ultra HD, refers to the number of pixels in a display. A 4k screen has at least 3,840 pixels in height and 2,160 pixels in width. Four times as many as Full HD. So it comes down to is that you see more pixels and therefore can observe more details. This is dependent on the size of the screen and the viewing distance, of course.

By now offer all major television manufacturers to 4K. And thus begins the scantily be. The new standard in television land One problem: it’s in terms of native 4K content, even downright sad. To fully enjoy a 4K television you’ve fils and series needed that are shot in 4K, but that hardly happens. 4K resolutions you for the time being not easily find in your cable company, but fortunately Netflix, YouTube and the first pr0nboeren rolling though slowly. With adoption comes so well, because it’s coming, just takes a while.

The difference between 1080p and 4k

Can you gaming on a 4K TV?

We were at Apparata repeatedly whether you have something on a 4K television as a gamer. The Playstation 4 and Xbox launched in 2013 One are there so entirely appropriate for, you might think. Wrong. Both consoles have hardware that allows you to play your games at 1080p but 4K is too high. Before that they miss the processor and graphics power. The reason for this is that the development of both the PS4 and Xbox One already started around 2008.

What then can be the PS4 is playing movies and series in 4k. Playstation maker Sony says that videos and photos without problems 4K content can be forwarded to a 4k TV. (Do not forget to arrange such kek HDMI 2.0 cable then.)

People of the PC Master Race would be able to consider because for PCs has been often experimented with content above 1080p. But here you sit with a hardware issue: because you have to control than in 1080, four times as many pixels do you need four times more graphical power. But if your PC hardware is OK (example), then gaming on a 4K monitor a gift from the gaming gods.
