| Component | Minimum Requirement | | :--- | :--- | | | 4K TV (3840x2160) or 4K monitor. A 1080p screen will downscale, wasting the download. | | Storage | A 4K movie takes 10GB (HEVC) to 50GB (RAW). Ensure 100GB+ free space. | | Processor | Intel Core i5 (8th gen+) or Apple M1/M2 for smooth playback. Older PCs will stutter. | | Internet | 25 Mbps minimum to download a 30GB file in under 3 hours. | | Codec | HEVC (H.265) is mandatory. H.264 4K files are too large. |
: Codecs like H.265 (HEVC) are preferred for 4K because they offer better compression than H.264, maintaining high quality at smaller file sizes.
