I would definitely check out the specifications of your 4K TV. It should support HDR10 at the very least. Dolby Vision HDR may work but I would definitely check this as well since it is a competing format.

It is also important to make sure your TV supports HDMI 2.0 minimum and you will have to make sure that the HDMI cable is 2.0 or better as well.

Here are a few URL's that may help or confuse. Personally, I would adopt the wait and see approach.

First gen 4K TVs lacked HDMI 2.0 and even some monitors. It was the push to sell 2nd gen.

@Juiced wrong first and some second gen 4k tvs only had HDMI 1.4..

'shitty hdmi cables'

A $3 HDMI cable does the same as a $100 cable, it's all marketing BS.

False Deadpool. Cables have a maximum throughput and range, it is just more important now because of the push for higher bandwidth due to 4K, 3D, HDR, ethernet, and uncompressed audio formats.

@R0kiemon:
Try bother reading next time. You'll notice that I mention the PS4 before the XB1 regarding this crap.

That the Xbox camp can't see past the Xbox iswhy things are as they are. Defended XBL Gold saying it didn't effect PSN, then pointed and laughed when PS+ became mandatory for PS4 online with a total lack of irony.

Godmans, consoles are exactly that type of device these days. Regular updates and new features are the way they work. The days of owning a simple console that just played games and long gone. Contrary to your opinion, IMO updates and feature additions are a great thing for the consumer and exactly what we do expect these days.

Wow, you need an update to use a piece of hardware in this day and age? What has this world come to?! It's unforgivable! Ban all machines!

I will boycott hardware and not purchase this sweet deal of a game machine and UHD player in one. I will stand tall and not let one single megabyte through until these corporate wahoos stop the oppression.

Sorry to tell you but that ship sailed long ago.

Someone is using a device before its release date and its not functioning correctly due to its features not being enabled yet via day1 patch.

This is a non issue so stfu with the concernd trolling

wow, its just an update lol why are people crying about it

These days they push out the product and rely on the consumer to update! I see your point but it's the norm for almost anything electronic these days! And seeing as many people are connected in some way or another it's become second nature in a way..you buy the device take it home connect it up, update to the latest softwares/firmware and you're done! There's no real hard task at all it's not hurting the consumer! It would only hurt someone that doesn't live in the 21st century which those kinds of people don't buy consoles they buy simple dvd/bluray players and probably never heard of smart phones, smart tvs etc..

And if like me internet speeds are that fast the update is quick and not noticable..also this guy should be upset he got his X1s early before the actual release date and before the day the huge update has arrived August 2nd..so he shouldn't whinge!

It's weird, but it's not horrible. You have to update the blu-ray app as well and I think that's a licensing thing of some sort. I'd imagine it may be something similar here.

Trump is definately less sane, but Hilary should be held accountable for her mishandling of classified information. I don't see how either candidate is qualified to be president.

he got downvoted because he didnt say he bought a ps4 lol this site is shit

HDMI 1.4 is perfectly capable of transmitting UHD/4k up to 30fps and I have read that you can stream 4k youtube videos on the Xbox One (I am a pc/home theater guy, I don't personally own either of the consoles).

If you want UHD/4k at 60fps or 4:2:2 color space then you need HDMI 2.0. If you want UHD/4k with HDR then you need HDMI 2.0a and if you want UHD/4k that uses HDR with dynamic metadata as used in the Dolby Vision standard you will need HDMI 2.0b. If you want to play UHD Blu-ray or stream content at 4k that has the latest content protection, you will need HDCP 2.2. Neither console can do these things.

It is possible to squeeze 4K/60fps through 1.4 at 4.2.0 chroma. Moving images would typically be fine but text may have problems.
