NZB Posts for 4k

[MacGyverSG1]

Is it possible for a button to be added for 4k posts (2160p (x265) added to 720p and 1080p for TV and Movie)? I've been just using the MISC one. Time to upgrade.

Thanks

Is it worth watching 4k videos if your monitor doesn't support 4k?

My monitor is a 32" 2560x1440 and 2160p videos do look real nice. I've only downloaded a couple since I watch videos on my TV, which is 1080p. Can't really tell the difference on my 55" TV ( I do sit 12 feet away). When I upgrade to a 4k TV, I'll probably start grabbing more 2160p downloads.

What were you doing up so late buddy, did you shit the bed

I can tell you from experience that there is a difference from 1080p vs 4k if you are comparing true full rips, but encoded ones that the size has shrunk down i didn't really see a difference...

One of my Plasma's blew up finally so i went out the other day and just bought a LG 4k 50" for my bedroom (had a 42" before huge difference in size!), but i am still tinkering with it to even get a picture that was as good as the much older one i had on the wall...

The big difference you really do see that is when you stand right next to the tv in picture quality, streaming a 4k movie, but once you do go back and i am about 20 feet away in bed, i agree my eyes don't see a difference
Now you have to decide how much space you want to waste on hard drive space being an average true rip is 50 to 100 gigs plus...
I download a few BD ones for action movies, but i haven't tried to stream them directly to the Smart 4k LG tv yet, and see if it can actually do it without shuddering/pixelating , I usually use a pivos streaming box to watch them, and yes i am wired not using wifi, all of my tv,s and my kids consoles are wired

NZB Crew, are there enough true 4K rips to justify another category or could these be better placed under a different tag?

A higher-resolution video will have more information to be downscaled, so all else being equal, you can expect at least slightly better quality. Whether that's worth the higher filesize is up to you.

There are many 2160p rips (just like 1080p rips) being released everyday. There are also 2160p UHD REMUXes and UHD BD66 and BD100 discs posted. They are very large, but available.

Do you have some good demo reels? 720/1080/4k? Like those demos from the TV manufacturers? I have some but they are pretty old.. Like having some of those for fun

Most private NZB indexers have a 4k section for movies. Some are starting for TVs too. I also would like to request like OP to add 4K section please.
