4K Display Setup Your SHIELD supports 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160p) resolution content when available from the applications of your choice. To ensure that your SHIELD is optimized for 4K video output, keep your device updated with the latest system software. Watching 4K content from SHIELD requires a 4K display with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 support. Make sure SHIELD is connected to an HDMI input that supports HDCP 2.2. Consult your 4K display's user guide to find the correct HDMI port to plug SHIELD into for watching 4K content. NOTE Netflix 4K content is currently only enabled for HDCP 2.2 ports. See your 4K display's user guide for further details. SHIELD also supports content rendered with 4:4:4, and 4:2:0 chroma subsampling frequency ratios. Many receivers come with HDMI-ARC, HDMI-MHL, and HDMI-UHD ports. Consider using the HDMI-UHD port for 4K support. Some TVs by default have UHD input disabled in TV settings, so please make sure that UHD is enabled in the settings for your TV for this input.
