What are 1440p, 1920p and 2160p? Which one is 4k?

Huntercross14

Im confused, I have oculus quest and want to know which one is 4k so I can play video smoothly on 60fs. Also how do many fps can i get on 5k/6k videos? Thank you

Philip

Huntercross14 You can't play 5K locally at 60fps. 1920 and 2160 practically the same. You can play those locally, for 5K you should try viewport streaming, it's your only option.

Philip thanks, also is it possible to download slr videos directly off vr headset? Because i have noticed the downloaded video is much clearer than streaming.

You must download them in the website and put them in the headset by connecting the quest with usb or link cable, if your quest drive still have some room and privacy is not an issue (videos will be easily available from quest gallery)
If you have a pc windows you can alternatively stream from pc to your quest by setting a network drive in skybox vr (https://skybox.xyz/en/)
With a Mac, I had to use plex server (free)
Another option if you have a media server, is of course easier
