Youtube has published its first 8K 'Ultra HD' video online, but we are not sure your PC can handle it.

Although the video looks jaw dropping, you’ll need both a high end monitor and a PC in order to fully enjoy it. It's not a matter of Internet bandwidth - the real issue is processing power.

The video – 'Ghost Towns in 8K' – has been actually shot on a RED Dragon 6K camera in portrait orientation. But Youtube is adding
side-by-side portrait videos stitched together and scaled up to create a landscape video using Adobe After Effects.
