In this tutorial, I want’s to guide you How to Play 4K video’s smoothly in VLC. 4K is a new resolution standard designed for digital cinema and computer graphics and has 4000 pixels horizontal resolution approximately. The new standard renders more than four times higher image definition than 1080p resolutions for example.
This format can’t have the change in horizontal resolution, so changes in aspect are made through the vertical resolution. For example, 4096×2304 is a frame size with aspect 16:9 and 4096×3072 — 4:3.
