The monitor doesn't meet specs, 1280 x 1024. I use an old Sony Bravia KDL-46S5100 with FHD, 1920x1080, on my main viewing/streaming computer. On an older computer, I run Linux for Tivo configuring.As for the hobby photo computer, it has all the memory it's going to get and there's no plans to purchase a Ultra HD 4K TV. I will purchase a video card if the still grabs from 4K are superior from the MP4 FHD still grabs, which is the initial question from the OP.For some reason I can't think through this, which is giving me reason to believe my thinking is wrong.Is it safe to assume without an Ultra HD 4K TV/Monitor you will never be able to tell if a still grab is from 4K or MP4 FHD?Maybe it is as simple as an abacus, I'm just making the question difficult.....or, no matter what, I can't take pictures worth a damn...!!</blockquote>
