i5 is using more electrical power to do jobs imho, same reason i begin to

cooling to compute PI

i would like to do the samme with my 49" 4k android tv, like the youngsters

40 cm from the screen it should not be bigger, thats why it should be small,
its more or less a joke to use 4k and small screens if not playing games :)
