IPTV in 4K: what you should know
4K, also called Ultra HD, delivers a much sharper picture than Full HD. With IPTV you can enjoy sport, movies and documentaries in 4K. For this to run smoothly, a few requirements should be met.
What you need for 4K IPTV
- A 4K capable device such as a Fire TV Stick 4K or a 4K Smart TV.
- A stable internet connection from about 25 Mbps.
- A provider that supplies real 4K content.
Why the connection is decisive
4K transfers much more data than HD. A stable connection is therefore more important than a very high peak value. Where possible, use a LAN cable instead of Wi-Fi for a calm, stutter free picture.
How to get the best picture
Set the highest quality in your app and make sure your TV uses the 4K mode. Close background apps to free up full power for streaming.
