[Hot] Best Way to Free Download 4K Video

On July, 2010, YouTube announced the support of 4K video, with a resolution of 4096 x 3072. At present, 4K video is becoming more widely available online, including on YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon. If you have a smattering of 4K video, read this post. It will give you a comprehensive idea of what 4K video is, where 4K video is adopted, and also describes the specific steps to download 4K online video from some websites like YouTube.

4K resolution, also called 4K, refers to a horizontal screen display resolution in the order of 4,000 pixels. The main advantage of recording video at the 4K standard is that fine spatial detail is resolved well. If the final video quality is reduced to 2K/1080P from a 4K recording, more detail is more apparent than from a 2K/1080P recording.
 

YouTube and the television industry have adopted 3840 × 2160 as their 4K standard. As in 2014, 4K content from major broadcasters still remains limited. However, the 4K television market share increased as prices fell dramatically during 2014 and 2015. By 2020, more than half of U.S. households are expected to have 4K-capable TVs, which has a much faster adoption rate than that of Full HD (1080p).

YouTube, since 2010, and Vimeo as well, allow 4096 × 3072 pixels (12.6 megapixels, aspect ratio 4:3) to be its maximum upload resolution. Vimeo's 4K content is currently limited to a majority of nature documentaries and tech coverages. High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265) should allow the streaming content with a 4K resolution available, a bandwidth of between 20 and 30 Mbit/s as well. In January 2014, Naughty America launched the first adult video streaming service with 4K resolution.
