Hey Benny!
BP> atleast google tv dont mind using it as 4k for netflix content
BP> at 4k
And from what I've seen, it isn't any better than 1080p, or at least on a 28" 4k monitor it isn't.
BP> imho its a diffrent with is how much power is used to do it
Not much according to the brag sheet. Almost half the wattage of a 6 core i5 doing the same job(s). Also I have it mounted on the back of the 4k monitor so it isn't taking up any additional real estate on my physical desktop. It is more than a lttle cramped to say the least. So far I think it is worth it other than the fact that a 24" 1080p would have been just as good and cheaper. I must admit I really like what I see so far.
BP> i like to say get a hdmi monitor at 4k or even 8k without any
BP> tuner at all
Agreed. That is what I have now except 28" which is as small as it gets as far as regular desktop systems are concerned.

BP> dont know if this is at any help for the penguins ?
Not for the boot penguins. Anyhow I have it working now using a efi capable grub. I still haven't heard any alternative solutions.
Bottomline is that in order to get all 16 penguins on bootup, the minimum resolution is 1080p. You will lose 3 penguins at 720p. At 4k there is room for exactly 30 penguins. I am guessing 60 on an 8k monitor. You tell me.
Life is good,
Maurice
