Or AV1
My Shield Pro shits itself trying to play those at 4K though.
I never play anything in 4k simply because my eyes can never tell the difference lol
Are they that heavy?
Do you have a TV that can display 4K though?
I don't think it's got a hardware decoder in it for AV1. Whether it can play is very much dependent on the file.
I can't see the extra pixels, but they tend to be the only versions with Dolby Vision, etc. I do think the HDR version looks better.
I can't think of any device with hardware decoder for AV1. I think it's mostly by CPU with some GPU accel.
It's mostly handled with GPU acceleration, yes. But it's a fairly recent addition. Certainly newer than my Shield Pro (which they don't seem to have updated since).
CPU alone would require a decent processor. Certainly at 4K. It knows the format, but smooth playback either happens or it doesn't depending on the file.
