Not able to Stream 4K content

[amitbjha]

Hi all,
Need your help in fixing streaming issue of 4K
My setup is
1. Denon X44000
2. Speakers
Front RP 280 F pair
Centre 450 C
Surrounds : 250 S
3. Streamer : Amazon Firestick
4. Projector TW5650
5. Broadband ACT Storm 100 mbps plan

I am able to view the HD content but not the UHD content from my setup.
I suspect Streamer is the problem.
Pls suggest how to see the 4K content.What are the options i have.
Thanks
Amit

Firestick doesn't output 4k. Either play directly from tv apps if you have 4k tv.

Even your projector outputs 1080p too.

Hi,

I guess you using 1080p fire stick. You need to purchase 4k stick which will be available in amazon India from Nov 14, 2018 and world wide from Oct 31 ,2018. Your output device also have to be 4k TV or 4k projector to enjoy the real 4k pleasure if not output resolution will be 1080p only.

Yes you will get 1080p only unless you upgrade your output device

While you may not be able to stream 4k in a full HD projector but you can try playing 4k videos available in youtube via silk browser in Fire TV. Though results will not be true 4K but still you can enjoy high resolution benefits of 4k videos. Make sure that internet connection is high speed.

Why would you press the accelerator to the floor and burn up a lot of fuel if the car is in neutral?

Set to 4K only if your output device (TV or PJ) is 4K capable. Otherwise even you set at 4K, the output device itself will scale down to it's native resolution or not read the data at all.

Your ACT is perfectly capable of streaming at 4K.
