hey guys this is Austin is the time to move to 4k back in 1979 Mattel launched the Intellivision one of the most colorful game consoles yet it was able to play games at a whopping resolution of 159 by 192 I mean you could fit over 217 television screens on a single 4k TV while normal high-definition TVs and monitors have been around for a while now Ultra HD aka 4k has typically been pretty pricey just over a year ago my 4k monitor that I use to edit videos on cost $3500 today though you can pick up a full 50 inch vizio Ultra HD TV for less than $1000 if you take a look at a YouTube video like this it's 1080p or Full HD now this is the resolution you'll find on most computer monitors as well as TVs this is just fine however when you move to 4k you're getting a lot more detail enough to fit for 1080p screens but the question is what can you do an Ultra HD if you have a powerful gaming PC like the positron you can play games in Ultra HD the new NVIDIA GTX 970 and 980 graphics cards are outfitted with an hdmi 2.0 port which you can use with the Vizio P series to play PC games in 4k at 60 Hertz so it might seem weird to be using a 50-inch TV as a computer monitor but it works surprisingly well so on addition to be able to play games you can also watch 4k video and there's a ton of screen real estate so instead of having to have multiple displays you just have all your tabs all your Austin Evans videos in one place pretty handy jump into a game like Metro last light Redux and the move to 4k is a big one even on medium settings the extra resolution makes a big difference and it's even more noticeable and watchdogs with ultra textures there's just a ton of detail everywhere which is a far cry from the console version which can't even reach an ATP much less 4k there's also surprisingly solid game mode included that brings latency down to some of the lowest levels I've ever seen on a TV it might not seem like a big deal but this alone makes the P series totally usable for even the most fast paced games out there while the positron has no problems gaming in Ultra HD you can still get some of the benefits of gaming in 4k without an awesome gaming PC the P series TVs have a spatula scaling engine to upscale HD content to 4k which helps to make normal game and consoles like the Xbox one and ps4 look even better there's also a smooth motion mode which comes to make content like sports look much smoother for less than a thousand dollars the Vizio P series means the 4k gaming on a big screen actually makes sense of course you're also getting a TV this future proofed for watching 4k content like Netflix right in the TV and all kinds of fun nerdy stuff like AC Wireless the dual-core CPU and h.265 decoding so what do you guys think is it time to make the move to Ultra HD definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below and big thanks to vizio for making this video possible hey guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
