   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,
