Sony UHD Bluray Players

[cobravenomous]

I have a question regarding some Sony Bluray players currently on the market.

I have read that Sony will be releasing their first 4K UHD Bluray player in the spring of next year, UBP-X1000ES, however right now they are also retailing players that they claim can upscale to 4K (BDP-S7200). So what gives?

I'm thinking the players that they are advertising as being able to upscale to 4K are not really 4K UHD players. Am I correct?

I just helped my son with the purchase of a Sony XBR-65X930D 4K UHD (HDR) television (I didn't like the set he was going to buy, so I helped with $$$$) and I was thinking of buying him a UHD Bluray player and 4K movies for Christmas to really showcase the new television.

Appreciate your assistance.
