Different services also compress at different levels. Is it still HD if it is compressed HD? I say this because I have throttled Netflix down to 1.5 Mbps, and it still says "HD" in the corner. Amazon Prime will choke at that throttle level.

I don't think we can dismiss it as nobody streams in 4K. Seems like 4K content will be something they compete on, although the current thing seems to be lowball prices which I suspect cannot last forever. Something I wonder about is whether there will be multiple video qualities of UHD, just like HD can go from about 2.5M to about 6M. I swear I am seeing customers streaming at 10M, I don't know if that is some form of super super HD, or a lite version of UHD which I normally expect to use 15 to 25M. |
