Re: 4K h.265 playback on ANY computer for 214 € - nvidia GTX 960 and LAV Filters, step by step.
OK. I am in a better mood now so thinks do not look so bad. I am not offended I can assure you and I really appreciate your good humoured response.

Sorry but the endless repetition of the term 4K can cause severe depression in certain individuals. I am also living in dread of the TV campaign to sell it all to us. My WIFI can only just cope with streaming HD films which look just fine. Now I am even gloomier. Technology can become such a burden.
I have never had to think of my computer motherboard/video card with stills and I find video editing relentlessly dull stuff. Woe is me

Hey man I respect your movie-phobia but let's be frank. Future is one and in five years all the people who shoot video will use 4K (or even greater).
I just cannot understand this "progress" scepticism. People (like you, maybe?) said quite not far ago that digital photography was useless against film. And you know, everyone nowadays says that digital photography is just better than film one. And this statement is fully independent of the artistic quality or artistic rubbish of the photo itself which remains fully unchanged.
And even your sentence about PCs and stills is completely false. Have you tried using post processing software on a 35 MB NX1 SRW in an eight year old PC? Cos as I've said in the OP I do... But maybe your opinion is that NX1's 28 Mpx or its more than 13ev dynamic range or whatever other technical specs any camera improves over the former model is nonsense, because, of course, neither of these "numbers" quantify the soul of the photograpic art.
And please forgive my HUGE mistake about using the wrong subforum. In no way I wanted to offence anybody.
Ah! I nearly forgot mentioning it: I am also mainly a stills shooter. And I doubt I'll use 4k capabilities in the few videos I shoot, but you know, I feel quite happy knowing that, NOW, if I want I can... (I suppose I stupid or something like that).
