Hi all, I just wanted to know what comes after 1080P. Is there a video I can watch online that has better quality than 1080P?
Thanks!

Your best bet to watch a film with higher resolution is in your next movie theater.

1080Q.
Not without buying a very expensive monitor.

Yep. The 4K monitors can get ridiculous, and that's not including whatever hardware you'll have to get to play it. I tried to play a 4K video last week, and my computer just about pissed itself, and it's about 4 years old. My video card is an AMD Radeon 4670HD 1GB DDR3, and it just screamed at me in several different languages to stop trying to play the thing.
My God dude you made me laugh!Imax Blu-Ray transfers are probably the closest to using all the available resolution of 1080p you're going to get out of a home entertainment system right now.
You can play most games at higher than 1080p if you have the hardware to handle it.
I have a 27" monitor that can do 2160x1440, so I guess you could call it 1440p.
I have an nVidia GTX 690 so I can play Crysis (all of them) maxed out full blast at this resolution get playable frame rates (Crysis 3 does go below 30fps in heavy combat though)
So in essence when I play these games, I am getting higher than 1080p on my system.
Resolution isn't everything though. Other factors play in like contrast, noise ratios (and the NR algorithms used to balance them, if any), and compression methods, etc etc.

Glad I could make you laugh.
Anyhoo, yeah, I can play Crysis and other games at very high resolutions, which is why I was surprised to see that 4K video just laugh in my face and insult my dog and/or significant other.
Hmm, I had no idea 4k video was being released already commercially.
If your monitor is not "4k" you are wasting your time though. You can only see the resolution your monitor is capable of pumping out. Even my monitor is not "4k"
I'm thinking of selling my GTX 690 and getting 2 Titans instead. Wanna buy my card?

Nah, I have a 4 year old PC for a reason. :P
There's always the option of looking at the real world.

Thanks!
Does anyone have a video I can look at? What type of CPU do you need to watch 2104p?

The recommendations that I've seen (give or take) say anything less than an Intel i5 or i7, 4GB RAM minimum, and an AMD Radeon 7750 / nVidia GTX 660 2GB (or better), will have significant difficulty.
As for a 4K video, you can see one here:

Make sure to choose 4K from the menu option.
You really reach a point of diminishing returns on this stuff. I saw the set up for 4K at Best Buy, and the upscaled version of the recent reboot of Total Recall looked like it was filmed on a $50 VHS camera. Then it showed several real cityscapes, and they all looked like video game graphics instead of reality.
Doesnt that also depend on size of the screen. 4K would be pretty much useless in something like mobile phone, but when standing right in front of 80" tv it is a different matter.
I guess the P could be endless (especially if the monitor is the size of the moon) but is there a limit on how defined something can be? How much can a person with 20/20 vision process?
I'm guessing 300 dpi/ppi, which is the resolution that is usually used for print as well as on Apple's "Retina" screens (well, 326 dpi in the latter case) looks completely sharp to most people.
Beyond 425ppi, the human eye cannot distinguish any pixels at all, no matter how large the screen.
325 is becoming the standard on most smaller portable devices, but larger objects like tablets and TV's are averaging 225-250.
So there is room to improve, if every display was universally 400ppi or above essentially you'd never see pixels again.
4K is pretty much the point where that happens, 4096i I think.
