It's time for CES to detonate a true 4K Blu-ray DVD player to test a fake 4K TV

The real 4K Blu-ray DVD player that has been brewing for a year has finally revealed its true colors at the 2016 CES International Consumer Electronics Show. Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony have all announced their latest players supporting the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray DVD standard. Samsung also announced that it will accept reservations on the spot.

So what is a true 4K Blu-ray DVD player? As the name implies, it is a player that can play 4K Ultra HD content Blu-ray DVD discs.

When CES was held last year, the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) revealed the true 4K Blu-ray standard specifications. In May 2015, BDA officially released the Ultra HD Blu-ray/4K (true 4K) standard specification. True 4K Blu-ray movies will be compressed in H.265/HEVC high-efficiency video coding format with a resolution of 3840 x 2160, a frame rate up to 60 frames per second (FPS), and HDR high dynamic range display technology is also standard. Then BDA announced that it will begin authorizing the new Ultra HD Blu-ray standard on August 24, 2015. Licensed movie studios and Blu-ray DVD player manufacturers have begun production of tightly packed products.
With the 4K Blu-ray DVD player on CES, the major movie companies spoke repeatedly, 4K Blu-ray DVD movies are ready. 20th Century Fox has stated that it will release more than 30 4K Blu-ray DVD movies this year, including the latest "Mars Rescue."

With 4K Blu-ray discs, 4K Blu-ray DVD players, for those who want to build a home theater, the next thing to do is to buy a TV that supports true 4K Blu-ray playback.

From the market point of view, it is commonplace to promote 4K TVs, but there are few who can truly support true 4K Blu-ray DVD players.

First of all, the true 4K Blu-ray DVD player is based on the HDMI 2.0a standard. Although it is backwards compatible, if the connected TV does not support HDMI 2.0, the standard will be output as HDMI 1.4 and the image can be viewed, but Smooth image fluency cannot be guaranteed. A 4K TV that does not support HDMI 2.0 is like a luxury Mercedes-Benz car with a small engine with a displacement of 1.4 liters.

Recently, Xiaomi released the 9999 yuan 70-inch next-generation split LCD TV, including the previously released 48/55/60 inch 4K TV, the entire line of TV dedicated flagship chip MStar 6A928, fully supports 4K H.265 @ 60Hz 10bit hard decoding And HDMI2.0a.



The TV also uses the only genuine Sharp 4K LCD screen produced in the world. It is the world’s most advanced television screen with a resolution of up to 3840 x 2160. With a wide viewing angle of 178°, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a response speed of 6 ms, and a color gamut NTSC color gamut of 85%, MEMC motion picture compensation technology is used. Millet TV 70-inch split LCD TV can perfectly display the true 4K display effect.

It should be noted that the true 4K Blu-ray standard requires a frame rate of 60 frames per second (FPS). Many televisions known as 4K use the previous generation of low-end 4K TV chips. Some brands even use mobile phone chips as the main processor. Limited to mobile phone screen, battery capacity and temperature requirements, all current mobile phone chips only support up to 4K @ 30Hz decoding), and the actual frame rate is only 30 frames (FPS). Millet TV's 4K products across the board reach 60 frames of FPS support, perfectly displaying the true 4K display effect from all aspects.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, the official release of the true 4K Blu-ray DVD player will play an important role in testing the market for pseudo 4K LCD TVs. Some manufacturers' products are known as tall, but in the most critical [color=rgb(51, 51, 51) !important]4K video decoding parameters, they use the old standard old format, and they are outdated once they are introduced.

Only the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray standard specified by the Blu-ray Disc Association BDA is the true 4K. True 4K will inevitably support ultra-high definition (UHD) and high dynamic range imaging (HDR) of highly integrated 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray players. Very simple, if the TV chip only supports hard decoding H.265 4K @ 30Hz, or nominally only supports HDMI 1.4 (some manufacturers in order to avoid being punctuated, deliberately only labeled HDMI without marking the version number), then basically can be judged to be false 4K.
