The GoPro allows for video capture at resolutions up to 4K. Up until a couple months ago, there wasn't a consumer tv that could play a video recorded at 4K, 2.5K, 1440... Sony put the first one out there and it costs a fortune at the moment! Those resolutions are for the pros and for playback in movie theaters, etc. The same is true for computers. There isn't a consumer video card or display that can handle above 1080 at the moment.
You can technically edit the footage with Quicktime, Premiere, GoPro's software, but you can not play it back in it's full resolution. You are not seeing the full video while editing, ususally a scaled back version. I was also having problems inside the GoPro program with some features. A PC will try and convert the video down to a playable resolution, but it's still unwatchable, as it hiccups, freezes, or just plays audio.
