Question

4k video demo's at Best Buys

Aug 11, 2014 1:08PM PDT

I've noticed that in Best Buys when they display their 4k UHD's, that they have amazing looking videos being displayed.... I was wondering how I could get content like that with so much array of colors and scenery, so I could test out my newly bought Samsung UHD. Those videos are only demo'd for the stores, and not for sale or download right?

For now I worry about 4K and the new HDCP 2.2

"HDCP 2.2 is the next generation of copy protection for the 4K era, and it likely won't work with any of your current gear. Here's what you need to know."

This industry aimed squarely at your wallet. I'd move out of range for now.

BB 4K demo's
Mar 15, 2015 1:27AM PDT

I work as a Samsung retail Expert. I did assisted sales at a BB here in Phoenix for the holidays, 2014. The demos they use are a 4K source on a jump drive. This is plugged into a USB input.
Many of the new Samsung tv's will up-convert 1080p to 4K, but don't do so at the correct rate to look like the 'native ' 4k.
There are several sources becoming available for 4K. Amazon Prime, Netflix, VUDU etc. In fact Samsung had a promotion during Xmas that included 10 (?) 4K movies. Actually I think it was 3 movies and 7 documentaries !
hope this helped a little
