@Epak_: That's an odd argument but the One S does display 4K content. I would argue it would have been better if they put "plays 4K video" instead of making it sound like it's going to be pushing all the games at it but it is tested and proven to display full 4K content.
An 8K movie is more data than a Blu-ray disk could handle and no-ones streaming 100+ GB video files. I think you'll just have to accept being wrong. Though I guess you could just keep grasping at straws.
Hardware support for 8k is still there, provided by AMD, deal with it.
@wahsobe: Upscaling does not equal native resolution, I'm quite aware of that. The hardware still has support for 8k resolution, doesn't mean we are going to see much, if any 8k content.
@Epak_: Until we see actual footage it's unproven. I would call only having the ability to display static images a fail because that is not what people bought it for. Unless they can show us an 8K video running on it without frame drops than this is just puffing.
My PC can run 4K content but the video chops severely. Sure I could put 4k on the box since I was able to get one video running because it utilized an efficient codec at the cost of the overall image quality, without dropping the resolution or frames on a fresh install. Big deal. As far as I'm concerned that would be false advertising. I don't want any of these guys advertising 8k unless it doesn't have to be followed by a noteworthy caveat.
Can run 8K **(on dash only)
Can run 8K **(does not work on all videos)
Can run 8K **(only on some simplified 2D games)
If it can't play games but can play all videos at 8K then great, say specifically that.
Until we're shown otherwise I stand by what I said. "theoretical limitations mean nothing if they can't be proven"
Well it could display 4K only and let the 8K TV do the upscaling, but supposedly the hardware can support a native 8K feed, I still don't expect native 8K content to happen much on the system.
@Epak_: theoretical limitations mean nothing if they can't be proven.
It literally just supports the resolution. I don't believe we see many 8k releases (if any), it can probably display 8K menus in the dashboard or 8K UI in games or something trivial. I also don't believe we see a lot of 4k (native) 120hz content on the system, but the hardware has support for it.
