welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is
linkis at the Sony Booth they've got what looks to me like a fairly
compelling demo here so I've heard the argument that you can't really tell the
difference between 1080P and 4K and while at a very sort of far away
distance that much may be true and while
these may be a little bit exaggerated because they're 86 in televisions which
I think most people aren't running bear in mind guys you can already get a 55 in
TV for around that ,000 price point so this could be sooner than you think so
check this out you may have to zoom in in order to make the point uh from the
camera's perspective we've got slick operating the camera of course so
the all right so the 4K TV is on our
left from a distance of I guess I must be
about 2 me away I can comfortably read text in something like a newspaper
article however on the 1080p version the
text has a lot of interpolation so it's very very difficult to read so if the
point that we're trying to make is that it's sharper especially for a static
image then point taken Sony it's hard to
say how much of a difference you'll be able to tell in a full motion video
especially because as 4K content gets more popular might not see uh well as 4K
equipment is much more expensive than 1080p equipment we're going to have
limitations in terms of the frame rates we can capture at so Sports we're
probably looking at 1080p for the foreseeable future however for things
for anything shot like you know cityscapes and you know beautiful nature
stuff animals 4K should make an impact don't
