Harmy,

Can you comment on the 4k clip we sent you. You seem to be the only one that can play it at full resolution.

Also, some monitors support 10 bit color, however very few applications support it. You need the right cable, and OS support also.

 OK, I finally got around to testing this clip on my 4K TV - it looks great! BUT! When I scaled it down to 1080p and back up to 4K, there was absolutely no difference whatsoever - I mean zero - like when I made that sample of the 1080p vs 720p for the BD, there was a difference but just very little, however here, I can see no difference at all and I'm looking at a 58" 4K screen from the distance of about one foot (I can clearly see the individual pixels that way but no difference in image detail) and I continue not to see any even when I pretty much press my nose against the screen, so I would say staying at 1080p for the final release is justified, at least with this transfer. If the team allows, I can post screenshot comparisons.
