8k video output

[vega509]

some of these S905x3 boxes claim to send an 8k signal over HDMI 2.1 and a 48gbps cable to an 8k tv. the 3 I have tested max out at 4k @ 60fps, but all will play 8k sources.

has anyone tested one that does send an 8k resolution to the tv? or is this just marketing hype?

the boxes I tested that claimed 8k output, but do not
H96MaxX3
TICTID TX6 Plus
X96Air

I have an 8k set and would like to see if there is a big difference as claimed. none of the apps on the set are 8k, I was hoping the specs on some of these were factual.

How would you test anyways?
There is no 8K content available in any format is there?

youtube has 8k videos which I can play, and there are a lot of 8k videos you can download

The difference is most apps are made with 1080p in mind
-aka games, android Gui, generic apps..
4k/8k is possible on some (if hardware permit this) units... but only using the native video/image player
and then there False Advertising units..
and units that does have the cpu capable of 4k/8k but...the used cheap emmc/ram/wifi chips
or lack the right configuration / DRM
--
or the first batch devices where capable of 4k/8k.. but later cheap revisions/clones are not..
yet..are sold under the same name/brand

So, don't belief the specs on the website or reseller... checkout sites like:
cnx-software, liliputing, freaktab, androidtv.es or youtube eta prime for example

Note: to watch 2k/4k/6k/8k youtube vids with or without HDR
requires a app named youtube vanced from XDA forum...then you need enable 'spoofing' as galaxy phone
