It might "officially" be 4K, but it's so heavily compressed that there are visible 8x8 blocks in the images, so it might as well be 8 times smaller - i.e. it has an effective resolution of 512x384

Take a look: http://imgur.com/YFsGb.png (I didn't change the image at all, except to crop it. I used mplayer to play it directly to png, and I made it a png so it's not jpeg artifacts.)

For comparison here is the 1080 version: http://imgur.com/wkClm.png

Interestingly the png of the 1080 is twice as large as the 4k version! Even though the 4k "officially" has twice the resolution in both directions (i.e. 4 times as many pixels).
