630x is the best for 4K... but there is 8k now:

http://www.sharp-world.com/aquos/en/4k4ctech/

on PC... 1080p, 1440p OK. 2160p cannot...

should play on 4k android box players.

of course. most std 1080p pc's like mine cannot do 2160p. can do max 1440p... i tried it.

that is for the mp4 files from that site, not .encm.



i also tried playing one .encm and one mp4 file on my android player.

.encm is an unrecognized format for both the native player and kodi player.

the mp4 files, can play, no problem.

but... those 4k mp4 files from the link are not very good either.

those videos are watered down, i think - the force awakens trailer does not come out better than the full bdmv i have.

for better 4k demo videos, better go get from torrents.

"timescapes" and "ses 4 k test transmission" are better ones, i tested them long time ago.

no... not 4k bdmv, i don't have.

i meant 4k demo videos and normal bdmv's.



these titles are in 4k but only on discs, i believe.
http://www.blu-ray.com/4k/

they will probably be 100gb each or so.

will probably need to wait a while for all of that to come.

4k full movies are still very rare.

there is one i suggest u test on your player (whatever box u have) and the ue630x.

sword of destiny uhd (don't ask me where to get ) was first shown on netflix uhd.

i watched it in hd only then. the 4k file (30gb) is surely better.

the thing i want to highlight is it will only come out good, the way it should be, if your player has 2160p 24/30hz setting.

in addition, player should be either directly connected to the ue630x or to an AVR that has 4k pass through (not 4K upscaling).

if the 4k player is set to 1080p 50/60hz (to accomodate a non-4K avr), it may still play but there will be judders.

a non-4k player will not play the file at all.



the time will come when more videos in 4k become available. that will be the time to get a new gen AVR that has UHD4K pass through and DTS:X.

things move quickly - they keep upgrading, we keep spending money!

2160p 60hz... videos are rare, except maybe home made ones. for both player and avr, that's maybe 5 years out, i think.

but seriously, why would u need 2160p 60hz?

which pioneer avr u have that's 4k pass thru? how old, price?

i am planning to get one in the next year for 4k pass thru and dts:x.

ok, thanks for info.

for sure, my next avr will be at least hdmi 2.0 and hdcp2.2.

am considering onkyo 747 and coming 757.

will be ok for next 5 years, i think.

yes, there are such probems with some models.

my friend had problems with 607 and 818, swears he will never buy onkyo again.

my own 706 has been very good, so i will stick to 7xx series.

i think the problems come about due to overheating.

i use it moderately, in aircond room, zero problems for 6 years.

HDR is very very new, a 2016 thing.

UHD 4K TV's is not the latest.

latest is UHD PREMIUM, a class of UHD 4K TV that has HDR.

http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/hdr...ision-explained

There is still little 4K material. HDR will take even longer.


Meanwhile, use the ue630x to the full... install as many apps as you can!

I now have a nice Kodi superboxbuild and a few more apps in it. No need another box, just the tv will give movies, tv shows, news, sports, English, Chinese, Singapore , Indonesia, Thai tv... Etc. etc. quite a lot in HD and loads pretty fast. now that is a smart tv!!

i've been hunting for 4k material and got little.

they are not coming out as fast as i expected.

even this list is miserable!
http://www.blu-ray.com/4k/

however, the tv we have is still a good choice due to its master eng pro upscaling and the good android inside.

as for audio, dd/dts is already not bad.

i remember a few years ago, some tv's go silent with dts videos as they refused to pay for the license.

dtshdma/ddtruehd... will become a standard arc feature in tv's when dd atmos and dts:x become popular, i.e. tv's will always be one step behind standalone players and boxes when it comes to audio.

really, it will be some time before more 4k material comes out.

https://torrentfreak.com/first-netflix-4k-c...t-sites-150828/
according to above, a 4k tv episode is about 18gb (movie about 160gb), which comes out to be about 7MBps or about 54mbps.
so, i wonder if we are really getting 4k even on netflix with 25-30mbps speed!


still, i am happy with the tv's upscaling and vibrant colors, esp for bdmv's.

been replacing part of old collection.

and talking about that, it is just a normal progress.... vhs->dvd->bluray/bdmv...->uhd4k...->hdr4k.

just another way to spend your money to pamper your eyes.

i'll find a chance to see if these early hdr4k tv's produce better pq than uhd4k for a common 1080p file.

since there is practically no hdr and very few uhd files around!

a repeat question.

check post #415.

it's 58ue630x.

thread starter danny wants to sell his.

think u r the first one here who bought that size.

you'll love the tv!

a few people here bought 50 and 58.

my latest adventure on the ue630x...

installed, "tweaked", set easy access for... kodi skysports 1-5 in HD.

nice to watch premier league at the touch of a few buttons.

i'm not a big fan of PL but just preparing for Euro 2106 kickoff on 11 jun.

actually, it is not as heavy as i thought. about the same as my last smaller lcd sharp.

mounts fine on my existing wall panel and bracket.

and it is nice to find it is very cool, no heat detected.

what u bought is an android uhd 4k tv. it can do a number of things. besides handling 4k videos and upscaling anything lower, it can handle the latest 4k60hz videos - if the rest of the equipment incl cables, player are such - hence the hdmi converter issue.

also, the tv comes with a good android built in. if u hv never used an android (be it box or tablet or phone) before, this is yr chance to play with it. first, u need to set it up with yr wifi to get internet access. read the manual also - there is an electronic version u can get on the tv itself. if not, u can find the website and download it. if u have not installed the tv, get the installer to do all that when they arrive - they know how.


if u r starting from ground zero. i suggest u read a bit about android boxes:

androidbox
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3126605/+1620

kodi is a major app u can install in the android. if u set it up properly, u get a lot of goodies. but... this one, i must say, will take time, not easy for a new user. anyway, do read:

kodi
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3139601/+3920

kodi is just ONE app. the android in the tv can take many apps. it works the same as in an android box. the only diff is the buttons on the remote controls (note u r given 2 of them, one with a mouse function).

for such a size tv, u can't sit too close!

yes, everything comes out better, be it astro or hypptv, youtube or playback - the upscaling is good.

if u have a 4k media player, try these 2 in bluray/bdmv with 2160p 24hz settings: point break 2015 and the force awakens - awesome details, colors and vibrance.

kodi... this one... u need to spend time to understand and get to know how it works. i can copy and paste wholesale my build onto yr tv and u enjoy for a short time but... it needs maintenance. so, get started, here:
