  1. IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: According to Linus Tech Tips, and personal experience confirmed with the micro HDMI are very flimsy and easily can or will break.

    It’s a shame they should have made it as full size HDMI port. Good luck not breaking them. I DONT RECOMMEND IF YOU WILL BE USING FOR THAT REASON.

  2. "Pi 4 is ready for 4K video". This is the key part. "Ready" is different to "can".
    Just as the earlier pi's could not play HD 1080 till players had the fancy programing within the Video Player to hand processing to the GPU.

    The Pi4 is the same. It will only be dedicated players that might play 4k ok.

    But there is progress, and the Pi4 can play 1080p YouTube videos. Which is pretty impressive and does mean the pi4 is a significant step up.
    As for 4k? The chinese SoC boards will likely fill that market.
