welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is
0:04
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted
0:09
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is
0:16
linkis at the Sony Booth they've got what looks to me like a fairly
0:20
compelling demo here so I've heard the argument that you can't really tell the
0:24
difference between 1080P and 4K and while at a very sort of far away
0:29
distance that much may be true and while
0:33
these may be a little bit exaggerated because they're 86 in televisions which
0:37
I think most people aren't running bear in mind guys you can already get a 55 in
0:42
TV for around that ,000 price point so this could be sooner than you think so
0:47
check this out you may have to zoom in in order to make the point uh from the
0:51
camera's perspective we've got slick operating the camera of course so
0:56
the all right so the 4K TV is on our
0:59
left from a distance of I guess I must be
1:02
about 2 me away I can comfortably read text in something like a newspaper
1:07
article however on the 1080p version the
1:10
text has a lot of interpolation so it's very very difficult to read so if the
1:16
point that we're trying to make is that it's sharper especially for a static
1:20
image then point taken Sony it's hard to
1:23
say how much of a difference you'll be able to tell in a full motion video
1:26
especially because as 4K content gets more popular might not see uh well as 4K
1:32
equipment is much more expensive than 1080p equipment we're going to have
1:35
limitations in terms of the frame rates we can capture at so Sports we're
1:39
probably looking at 1080p for the foreseeable future however for things
1:43
for anything shot like you know cityscapes and you know beautiful nature
1:47
stuff animals 4K should make an impact don't
