YouTube 4k Video's
Hi
I recently purchased an LG 4K UHD tv and have been trying to watch 4k video's on YouTube such as this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTcNtgA6gHs When I click the settings icon on this vid using my laptop it gives me the option of playing in 2160p 4k but when I try it on my tv it max's out at 720p with no higher res option offered. This is the same with all 4k video's on YouTube. Am I missing something?

It's the same on my 1080p sammy, Netflix and Amazon both stream in 1080p but Youtube is locked at 720p even when used with it's crappy web browser also,
I think it has something to do with the os version it detects. Question does your tv also support the vp9 codec youtube uses? |
