    YouTube supports 4096p
    JULY 9, 2010

    For more than half a year now YouTube has supported 1080p videos but today they raised the bar even more by supporting native resolution videos up to 4K or 4096p 3072p (4096×3072) 2304p (4096×2304). While cameras that actually record in this format are quite a bit out of the grasps of the average YouTuber this allows for much higher quality content to be uploaded and stored on YouTube’s servers and in turn be delivered to viewers. Five years ago HD cameras were too pricey for most consumers, who knows where we will be in five more years.

    Just to give some perspective on what exactly the size of 4K is, the ideal screen size for a 4K video is 25 feet and IMAX movies are projected through two 2k resolution projectors. So what this means is it will look *really* crisp on your 15″ laptop screen.

    ------

    I don't believe this would of been possible if Google hadn't of bought YouTube out.

    I don't see the point, it's not as if Youtube is the quickest of sites. With 720p it's shite so with 4096 it will just stop lol.
