The Red One is fantastic for its ability to shoot natively in 4k mode. But what good is that if you can’t play it back? Toshiba was showing off a 56″ display it was calling 4k, even though it technically falls short. At 3840×2160, the P56QHD isn’t quite the 4,200+ pixels true 4k demands, but man it shows a pretty picture. That’s more than 3x the 1080p of the TV you’re saving for, punk. The 1200:1 contrast ratio isn’t tops, but it’s better than some. What’s great is the massive amounts of inputs the monitor gives you, four DVI jacks. Nice.
Matt,
If you do some reading you will find that 4k video resolution refers to exactly twice vertical and twice horizontal resolution of 1080p. 1080p is 1920×1080, thus the Toshiba display being 3840×2160 makes it a TRUE 4K DISPLAY.
The Red One camera shoots in a resolution larger than the true 4K resolution allowing for post-processing framing flexibility.
Furthermore, the Toshiba display is exactly 4x the pixel count of a 1080p picture.
Respectfully,
Marcin
4K refers to the width of 4096.
3840 < 4096.
