I don't mean will it play in 4K on a 1080p screen, I know it won't. But I mean like, maybe just playing downscaled or something--I'm asking because I can't yet afford a 4K TV (gonna be a while before I can even afford one of those upcoming 4K players). So, just curious as to whether they'd be compatible (not whether it's worth it to watch 4K content in 1080p, I intend to get a 4K TV eventually but I mean like for until then).
