Just wondering. I know playing a DVD in a Blu-Ray player on a 4K resolution tv tends to result in an inferior picture.
However...I've seen a small number of articles that imply that playing a standard DVD through a 4K player can essentially "double upconvert" the picture quality. Making it better than seen through just a Blu-Ray disc player.
Has anyone here used such a 4k Player on a standard DVD who can validate such claims?
It's becoming an issue for me as I may have to replace my tv in the near future. I like 1080p resolution fine, especially when I can upconvert standard 480p DVD to 720 and even 1080p. But if I upgrade to a 4k tv, it won't work to run a DVD with a mere HDMI DVD player that upconverts only to 1080p.
Like so many Samsung owners, my 9 year-old widescreen tv is turning off and off in a loop. Having tried a number of alleged solutions, none of them seem to work permanently. I'm still waiting on the latest "fix" to see if it holds, but I'm not confident it will. Seems Samsung has had to deal with a class action suit on this issue for a number of years without a concise solution, but with multiple claims of defective motherboards and capacitors.
A larger widescreen tv with higher resolution would be nice, but not at the expense of my entire DVD collection.
