Hey Mike,

It is not all about processor speed and GPU power. The most important part is your harddrive. If you have a ssd, you will have a higher chance to play it smoothly. You need a very fast data transfer to play those files.

This might be a rather cheap solution to join the future. I play 4k without any issue at and I5 processor on a 5 years old computer, but it has ssd storage.

4K wetlook on older computers, question and advice

So I just downloaded my first 4K clip (see below :)) knowing very well that my cheap home not-even-full HD computer will not manage to play it and I will have to view it at work :D. Sure enough, when played on the famed VLC media player it didn't work at all, a few seconds, than stopped and chocked and showed some pixels from time to time. Than I tried the infamous Windows Media Player and... surprise, some how it plays smoothly on a cheap computer with a 720p screen. It seems the Windows Media Player has some feature to drop the quality or something which makes the computer handle it - this was the advice

The question, does anyone know a similar life hack for 4K on normal cheap HQ tablets? I mean a player that will play them and when it comes to tablets also a way to physically move them, as my tablet refuses to accept files over 4GB. Thanks in advance
