YouTube has been consistently improving its video quality over the last couple of years. And now it has come to notice that the website is experimenting with an unprecedented streaming resolution.

YouTube introduced 60 Frames Per Second video playback few months ago and now the massive video streaming website is testing 4K video at 60 Frames Per Second.

According to TechCrunch, the company has uploaded a series of sample clips to showcase the technology.

One might hear about 4K TVs quite often, but to stream 4K content through normal video streaming websites is still unheard of and what YouTube is offering is more of an experiment.

It has been told that the option of viewing 4K content on YouTube is available only for six videos as of now. In order to view the videos one will have to manually toggle to the 4K option in the list of resolution from the settings of the video.

Although the website is testing the new 4K resolution, but there are hardly any cameras that can shoot such high resolution videos at 60FPS. And cameras that can do so are not easily available and are quite expensive, the website stated.

Most of the displays that are available in the market are not capable of delivering such high resolution videos. The latest retina iMac is one device that is capable of playing the clips.

In order to view these 4K videos, one would need to have a display that can handle 3840A-2160 resolution and a good processor to back it up.
