If you want to play 4K H.264/H.265/MPEG4 files on a UHD display, you have to choose C2.

Yes for 4K, it seems C2 is the only choice.
I have a C2, not a XU4, but my understanding is that if you just want 1080p max, maybe the XU4 is the better choice? (considering both have 1080p HW video decode support, and XU4 is a better processor otherwise?)
I'm very much open to correction on that.

Yes you are correct in a way, but the C2 is a better media player without a doubt.outhudd9 wrote:Yes for 4K, it seems C2 is the only choice.

If you have other CPU heavy tasks you would like to accomplish and media (1080p and lower) is secondary the xu4 is what you want.

I`d like to give my 2 cents worth.... also the c-2 is an over-clockers dream really..
all c-2`s iv`e ever owned have comfortably clocked @1.75 ghz @4 cores..even when steaming they remained functional..but i did add a fan to them as the sink was getting rather hot..that said it was not 100% necessary..phase..
