Hey Benny!

 BP> atleast google tv dont mind using it as 4k for netflix content
 BP> at 4k

And from what I've seen, it isn't any better than 1080p, or at least on a 28"
4k monitor it isn't.

 BP> imho its a diffrent with is how much power is used to do it

Not much according to the brag sheet.  Almost half the wattage of a 6 core i5
doing the same job(s).  Also I have it mounted on the back of the 4k monitor
so it isn't taking up any additional real estate on my physical desktop.  It
is more than a lttle cramped to say the least.  So far I think it is worth it
other than the fact that a 24" 1080p would have been just as good and
cheaper.  I must admit I really like what I see so far.

 BP> i like to say get a hdmi monitor at 4k or even 8k without any
 BP> tuner at all

Agreed.  That is what I have now except 28" which is as small as it gets as
far as regular desktop systems are concerned.

 BP> dont know if this is at any help for the penguins ?

Not for the boot penguins.  Anyhow I have it working now using a efi capable
grub.  I still haven't heard any alternative solutions.

Bottomline is that in order to get all 16 penguins on bootup, the minimum
resolution is 1080p.  You will lose 3 penguins at 720p.  At 4k there is room
for exactly 30 penguins.  I am guessing 60 on an 8k monitor.  You tell me.

Life is good,
Maurice
