It's ironic in a way. Everyone chasing higher resolution, but then softening it to look more like film.

That was nice and all, but I was expecting 1080p with a high bitrate vs 4K with a low bit rate :/

I'm watching this on my s20 plus, i pulled the res to 4k and YES 4k turned out beter looking than the 6k, suprisingly

[cdreyes]

everyone leaves out 1080p capture. What about adding
high 1080p vs low 4k.

[andersistbesser]

What interests me is if a higher rate is better for heavy colorgrading

[seancloutier]

I may be wrong...but I thought the bitrate 200 vs 400 for example gave you more information in post for color grading etc...

[SebastijanStanivuk]

bitrate is the amount of bits to reconstruct 1s of video

[Leukick]

Does a higher bitrate allow for further color grading capabilities? Like at 600mbps would you be able to push/pull color grading adjustments further in post you think?

[bowserlv]

400Mbps? Yes! But make test in 1080p and 480Mbps. 😊

I sell TV's and it's so hard to explain this to people. Comcast and other 720p cable would look ok if they gave a good bit rate. Instead they choose garbage. I had a blu-ray of toy story 4 playing on a 77 a80k oled and it looked great, even up close as long as you didn't add tons of sharpness and blow out the colors.

Got a 4k screen but noticed no difference. Cool family though.

[rubenalonsoviguerassalazar]

Great. Which 1080p cameras has a high bit rate?

[Sui]

Using such high bitrates as examples is kinda pointless. The vast majority of YouTube creators aren't going to be uploading 400mbps files at any resolution - it's a waste of time and storage space.

I do wander what extreme differences would be. Let’s say 10mbit 4K VS 200mbit 1080

[Ellien]

I do see a difference Between the two when i watch it in 4k but i also think it's because of my premium smartphone from Samsung

(Galaxy s23 ultra) it has an Excellent panel.
