You can't. The only way to do that is if you played the video in chrome with desktop on but why would you want to watch a video in 4k on a 1440p screen?

Anybody Getting Youtube in 4K

I just came across this article that says YouTube is now playing videos in 1440p.
I'm not seeing this as an option for the videos I see when I search "4K"
Is there something I have to do, or just wait for an update?
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/youtube-app-support-2k-video-t2841657, just tested, video in 4K are awesome.

When trying to watch a 4k/UHD video on YouTube app, hit settings gear and you should see if the option for 1440 if you have the updated app.
2560x1440 is Quad HD.
3840x2160 is 4k.
YouTube will show videos in QuadHD (1440) in mobile devices
You need to update YouTube to last available version 5.9.0.10

Search 1440p. You'll get lots of videos then. You do need youtube 5.9 first.

Thanks for the info. Just installed updated app!
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

You can't watch 4K video on YT in mobile. Only 2K option is available in the newest version.

YouTube doesn't even support 4k but there is a new update in which you can view videos in 1440p if the video is even uploaded in that high of a resolution.

You have to update the YouTube app either through the play store or manually.

Videos should be able to be viewed if they are available in 1440p or higher, just look up "4k video" and it should output after setting.
If it doesn't output, what version of YouTube do you have? Can be viewed under the Apps section in settings.

I realy don't know what do
The official youtube application for android doesnt support resolution higher than 720p. Either install the application Viral Popup (youtube player) for a resolution up to 1080p or view the video from within a suitable browser. I ve heard that the lg g3 supports flash playback. If your browser can not play flash content then install the hacked version of flash player and the dolphin browser and you re set.

This is completely false. The official YT app will support up to 2k on compatible phones with 2k screens.
The official youtube app supports up to 1440p on the G3 and has done for nearly 2 months now, I use it all the time.
OP, I am not sure why you are not seeing it, have you tried to remove youtube (if system app "uninstall updates), wipe cache and data, reboot then reinstall and see if it works then.
Did u modify your phone resolution or dpi?

You can't. It's a Youtube / Android thing. It will most probably be solved when Marshmellow comes out.
Android does not support 4K resolution for the display... so Sony only implemented 4K in specific apps ( mainly Gallery & Video )...
all other apps will see the phone as 1080p only, including YouTube, so it will only show you 1080p option... there's two options
1- Google : update the Yt App to support this feature which might not be logical for them because... No. 2
2- Android 6 ( Marshmallow ) is supposed to support 4K, so Sony might be able to enable it on all other apps, or just create a white list of apps that could benefit from 4K display and enable 4K for them only to save power...
I saw something that you can install dolphin browser and then install flashplayer manually ( dont know either if it works on the last android os) and selecting desktop opt.
But thanks also for your comments guys this is some good information to know
There is a custom youtube app which has an option "Enable All qualities" this may allow you to view youtube content at the highest quality supported by android if it isnt avaliable
"OGYoutube"
An alternate solution would be using google chrome to open youtube.com (desktop) and watching a 4K video
(youtube can allow html5 playback which chrome and many other browsers can use)

no 1080p 60fps videos

Hello can anyone else confirm that we can't watch 1080p videos at 60 fps it's like we don't get the option or is that a YouTube problem
Yes I'm having the same issue. I've left a bad review on the Play Store.

cannot play downloaded youtube 4k videos smoothly with mx player and default player !

hello all... i m facing a strange lag in my htc m9. currently running Viper one m9 4.3.0. but i have tested with stock rom also , that, i cannot play 4k videos smoothly which i'have downloaded from youtube. i moved that video to my device memory, then opened it with mx player. that video is only playable with mx's SW mode but veryyyyy slowly. both the HW/HW+ mode says "not supported" what can i do to play those 4k videos smoothly in my device? please..T.I.A.
The M9 have an 1080p display, so 4k videos, even 2k videos won't look better than 1080p videos...
You can download the videos at full hd resolution from youtube, you will save space too.
The problem is mxplayer. Because it is downscaling the video from 4k to 1080p on the fly via software it can only convert so much in so little time and that causes it to pause while it converts.
You will find that youtube servers do the bitrate at their end so even if the video says 4k, if you play it via the YouTube app you'll only get the max resolution that your device can handle, in this case 1080p as that is all your device can do.
