4K and Ultra Hi-def porn, is it worth it?

Hi I just wanted to get some views on 4k porn and has anyone seen ny of it, is it oh wow amazing or didn't you really see much difference. Does it have a place in the market. I know there are very limited sites that have good 4k, most probs to do with the huge bandwidths. Then theres peoples internet connections you are going to need some fast broadband or be waiting all day for one movie.

I'm getting a new PC and was trying to work out if getting a 4k monitor was an option, they are rather pricey, I did see a nice Dell 2560 x 1440 pixels 27" monitor with rave reviews or pay same price for an actual Dell 23.8-Inch Ultra HD 4K but feel this might be too small to really appreciate. Then there is around the same price going for an actual tv with 4k and at least would come in if I ever get a ps4 or xbox one.

But my question is 2560 x 1440 pixels, yeah I know this isn't 4k but would it be enough to look really good. Some guy reckonded his was better than an imac retina.

Anyway I appreciate anyones views who know more about these hi-def resolutions and 4k porn. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand." WILLIAM CONGREVE

4K is pretty amazing, if you have a system that can handle it. I have the Dell 23.8 Ultra HD 4K (which is quite cheap through Amazon.com's Warehouse Deals) and it is shockingly crisp. I think the pixel density comes in at around 280 ppi, which is quite close to the "retina" ideal of 300 ppi. The issue is that it requires a lot of horsepower to run anything at that resolution. I purchased the monitor so I could have a larger screen to work on with my Macbook Pro 13" Retina, but the mac can barely run the 4k monitor, and it can only do it at 30 fps.

So if you are planning on rolling with 4k on a mac or pc, make sure you have a serious graphics card and a powerful rig to handle it.

Does the porn look good? This depends hugely on the equipment they are running. Technically the new iPhone 6s can shoot in 4k, so it is becoming pretty commonplace. That said, a lot of HD videos can look a bit muddy because it is shot on cheap equipment. Even using a decent DSLR can lead to bland results if they are using crappy glass. The stock lenses that come with a lot of DSLRs really can't get you the crispness that 4k deserves, and also can end up with a shallow depth of field because the DSLR can't shoot with a high ISO that doesn't make everything look grainy as hell. If they are using a pro-grade DSLR and shooting on prime lenses, then the video can look amazing.

Some sites are actually shooting using Epic's RED cameras, they are the sites you want to go to. Those rigs are practically the gold-standard for HD digital video and the crispness from those cameras is mind blowing. Of course, those cameras start at $15k, so not many sites have them. (Their high-end line can shoot 6K at 100 fps!)

The short of it is that if you have a scene shot on high-end glass at 4k or above at 60fps or above, and then encoded at 4k 60fps with a high bitrate, it looks photorealistic. You can see every detail and it looks as though you could reach out and touch anything that is in focus. Whether it be an underwater documentary or a closeup of a quivering quim, the images are mesmerizing when shot properly. The detail and accuracy is shocking and is reaching a point where people will soon not be able to tell the difference when detail is increased. 6K really is pretty pointless at home and is really only used in professional movie theaters that might have some fools sitting in the front row and staring at 40 foot screen.

I believe all porn sites will be shooting in 4k within 2 or 3 years because all of the video hardware is switching over to shoot it. Hell, there are even drones capable of shooting now. Currently, I'm subscribed to 3 sites that are offering it on some, if not all, of their new videos (ATK Natural & Hairy, ATK Girlfriends, and Czech AV). I was surprised to see that Brazzers hasn't taken the leap yet, but it might simply be that an operation as large as that is cautious about switching to new video hardware.

The short of it is, yes, it can be worth it. As with any new technology, results right now can be extremely varied, but if you have the extra cash, a 4K TV would be a reasonable investment. The format isn't going anywhere and a good quality 4k TV that is properly color corrected could easily last you 5 years or more. Or go for a 4k projector, about $8000 on Amazon for a Sony one, and enjoy a 4k 60fps 150" screen. (It better be a dark room though, it only has 1500 lumens.)

I hope that helps! "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

I don't do much in the way of videos and 2000 length wise is plenty big for me. I think it is a personal choice that depends on your computer and monitor. Also it eats space on your drive so an external is wise. If you have they space go for it. Warning Will Robinson

4K is definitely the future of displays. Personally I think 40 inches is the ideal size for a 4k monitor so that text isn't too small. But that's a pricey purchase currently.

In terms of video, Yes it does make a big difference on the right display. It's like 4 1080p screens but together.

The newer HVEC codec really needs to be used to make the video sizes practical though. I don't think any sites have started using it yet unfortunately. But I re-encode my videos with it because it crushes the file sizes

Wow thanks for the replies guys, yeah it does sound like its in its early days but lots of sites beginning to experiment with it.

I found this list

http://assylum.com/
http;//atkgirlfriends.com
http://exotic4k.com/
http://huccio.com/
http://inthecrack.com/
http://naughtyamerica4k.com/
http://sindrive.com/
http://tiny4k.com/
http://woodmancastingx.com/
http://catalinacruz.com/
http://myveryfirsttime.com/
http://pornfidelity.com/
http://beauty4k.com

Not all 4k but ultra hi-def sites

Its hard to know whats best though display wise. Like most desktop tasks a 4k monitor isn't needed and makes text look crap I've read on lots of 4k monitor reviews, also size wish, watching 4k you want a big screen to get the effect and 40" monitors as you say are really expensive. So tvs maybe the best way to go.

What screen are you guys viewing on that are downloading 4k movies already.

I had my eye on Samsung U28E590D 28-Inch 4K LED but thinking would this be too small. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand." WILLIAM CONGREVE Edited on Dec 13, 2015, 09:31am

If I were going to buy a TV today, it would probably be this one: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z0IBFYM?qid=1450029488

For a 4k TV, that is super reasonably priced.

However, I'm hoping to build a 4K+ projection system in the not to distant future by stacking six 1920x1200 projectors. It should be cheaper than a 4k projector, and many, many magnitudes brighter. It'll just be a pain-in-the-ass to setup at first.

For now, I'm stuck with my 24" Dell 4K monitor, but mostly I use that for work. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Oh right thanks for that Toadsith. Blimey six projectors, I wouldn't know where to start setting all those up. Good luck with it. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand." WILLIAM CONGREVE

I can't reply in technical detail but for what it is worth I found the difference is noticeable and worth while on a 24inch pc monitor. Obviously you sit closer to that though. I just went to check the difference on the main tv but the file format isn't supported. Which is interesting as the monitor is not particularly new but the tv is.

Maybe it's my computer, my internet connection or both, but I find streaming 4K videos to be effectively impossible.

When it does work, though, it is amazing. Listen to Buried At Sea.
