Absolutely nothing wrong with my DD.. Yours on the otherhand, I am sad to inform you, is sub-par. Really, they should hang a sign in this lobby that says "Consult a Real Tech Enthusiast before Talking Tech..."
According to David Foley: "The HDMI 1.4 specification, which is the most current spec, supports an image signal up to 4096x2160 @ 30Hz."
First of all those numbers are "maximum" numbers. David was careful how he quoted himself. "up to" sounds suspiciously like "theoretical". Secondly, check your Hz on the monitor your running and tell me what it is. Bet it's higher than 30 Hz (probably 60 Hz). Check out the Samsung 7100, or 8100 TV: 240 Hz. Samsung 9000 4K Ultra HD TV: 120 Hz.
What's your standard High Speed HDMI (1.4 spec) cable designed for? 1080p @ 120 Hz... Running at 4096x2160 @ 30 Hz? Fine if you wanna watch your screensaver bounce around the screen... Otherwise I guarantee you that boxset is stepping down the quality. You like your NFL games? Why dont you do some "DD" and find out what Hz they broadcast at, and "why" they broadcast at that speed...
Oh and by the way, standard High Speed HDMI (1.4) running "at max" is about 24 Hz, not 30 Hz as David implies (theoretical max).
Here's Reed Hastings (yeah, Netflix, but you must have known this with your DD) comment about 4K streaming using 6 Mbps and 10 Mbps streams: “It’s around 15 megabits per second,” said Hastings at the TV Conference. “It’s not too bad. If you’ve got a 50-megabit connection you’ll be fine. As an overall system load, it will grow quite slowly and steadily, giving people lots of time to build the infrastructure.” I find this comment by Reed Hastings interesting only because Netflix currently pushes 6-10 Mbps streams (otherwise known as 1080p Full HD). I have no idea what NTEK is planning but at 6-10 Mbps streaming, I somehow doubt it's very good 4K..
We haven't even gotten into H264 vs H265 yet... Why don't you you're on bit of DD and look up the H.264 codec and do a little reading...
So back to the "bandwidth" problem I was referring to. Unless NTEK invented a new technology (cable) to solve this issue, they're going to need to run HDMI in parallel (as some of the latest gaming computer configurations are doing), or switch to the VESA (DisplayPort) standard to get better quality picture. Because I hope they don't plan on broadcasting 4K Ultra HD at 30 Hz and think they're gonna make a ton of money.
Look, I'm happy you guys are making money but do yourselves a favor and do a little research yourselves before you speak..
