This should be put on everybody's "boycott this shit" list. It's all for
commercial reasons they invent crap like this.

HEVC is meant for the 4k standard, which is not the same as a resolution
of 960x540. It's bloody ridiculous to use it for anything other than a
4k video, and even the 4k standard itself is stupid as well:
http://www.cnet.com/news/why-4k-tvs-are-stupid/

From http://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=89010&PageNum=2:

"Geoffrey Morrison ran the math about how much detail your eyes can
resolve, and the minimum size of pixels on a screen, and concluded that
at a viewing distance of 10', the difference between 1080p and 4K
wouldn't be noticeable on TVs less than 77" in diagonal."

But of course all those Itty Bitty $oft drones out there fall for this
crap, "oooh, it's so expensive it must be good!"

Phooey!
