Any TV 4 K buffs on here ?

Mon Aug 20, 2018 9:48 pm

Right bought a 4 k TV and decided to buy a 4 K upscaling DVD player. Now I bought a 4K film but the player says it’s incompatable. Now does these upscalers actually play these 4K films or have I been ripped off ? Trying to get an answer online and it’s confusing the f**k out of this old man. Any help please would be helpful :ayatollah:

As a yank, these setups have become the norm over here but not sure theyre worth the dollars.

To answer your question, upscalers typically play regular dvds which they then upscale to 4K, so it’s almost as good as 4K itself but not quite. Still better than regular had tho. They do not play 4K DVD’s, you need a separate one for that.

Over here, the satellite companies like dish have their own 4K channels - pretty cool. They show the big games like the cavs vs warriors and the world cup etc.

Upscalers only enhance normal dvd picture to look better on a 4k tv! 4k DVD like blue ray DVD only work properly on machine specifically made for that system more often than not it will say incompatible.

Upscaler is not really 4k.
Read reviews of 4k dvd before purchasing another , lots have problems.

Bought 50in uhd last night for bedroom would like a bit bigger but won't fit But great picture! looking forward to city game in uhd and did discover whilst picture is great the programme needs to be uhd to get best out of it. Sky do films and premiership games so I'm a happy bunny :occasion5:
