1080p TV with Ultra HD player and discs question... - Blu-ray Forum

stigdu · 12-30-2016, 04:15 PM

Hey guys,

I know the PS4 Pro does this 'supersampling' thing whereby some games will look better on my 1080p telly than a standard PS4 mode would.

My question is this:

Would having an UltraHD blu-ray player playing a UHD disc look any better on my 1080p screen as well, or is the (non-4k) screen the limiting factor in this equation, and things wouldn't look any different?

Thanks!

No a ultra HD blu disc would not look better on a 1080p tv . It will look like regular bluray .

I have the Xbox One S connected to a 1080p TV.

Most likely due to the difference in compression, I can see a slight difference in a few movies I've stuck in (I haven't stuck in many), but without a 4K (or HDR) TV, the differences are negligible.
