[Stiku]

More to this, 4k @ 60fps
You must use google chrome or a browser that supports VP9 codec and HTML5 video*
Suggested bandwidth is 50mbps(your internet connection speed), this was the average download rate when I was watching them(1/6 of my bandwidth).
Third, Check your CPU usage while watching, this will stress them.

*Mozilla Firefox isn't compatible with any of the mentioned.

Amazing - I never thought I'd see the day when the internet could handle 4k at 60 fps.

I'll need to use a different connection to watch as I don't have near the bandwidth at home

I use firefox and have a HD monitor, so can't really test it. But it is amazing how advanced online videos have become :o

[PZ]

WOW - I could only get to 1440, but the video was amazingly smooth and detailed  :-X

Just waiting for the gaming industry to catch up with the 4k resolution, gaming at 4k is viable just yet. But movies, documentries and such would be awsome to watch at 4k@60.
But that VP9 codec, it requires so much power from your CPU, mine was at 80% on all four.

[PZ]

Well, I am definitely eagerly anticipating 4k coming mainstream to gaming.  It will be like living the game.  :-X

Future near you*

I don't really care for 60fps, sure it does look a bit smoother, but I download all videos I watch (well 99% anyway) and pop the thumb drive in my TV and watch there, instead of on the computer in a browser. Thing is, my TV doesn't support 1080 at 60fps, only 720 at 60 fps, so any videos that are 60 fps I have to remember to download at 720 instead of 1080. Maybe a better TV can handle the higher frames, but I just got this one so I'm not getting a new one just for that.

Plus, Youtube doesn't let you view a lower fps video in a browser at anything higher than 480, so if you do want to watch in a browser, but don't have the CPU or bandwidth to watch 60 fps, you are stuck with 480, and that sucks.
