Sony BDPS6700 DVD upscale problem 4k

[R1978]

Hi guys I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong on my end or not over this.

So ok if I got this correct, I'm using a Sony BDPS6700 on a X950H. Now I'm not expecting miracles here but I noticed this does something strange when I watch DVD's and the player is set to 4k upscale.

Essentially DVD's when set to 4k on this ( and I've tested this on multiple DVD's anyone else who owns this feel free to try it as well ) do some kind of jaggy edge effect on the picture. It DOES NOT do this when I set it to 1080p upscale on DVD, I repeat it only does it on 4k upscaling.

I've tested this on an older 2007 and a few other models of both DVD and BR players. It only seems to be doing this from 4k.

Now what I am not exactly sure of here, and why this might be some conflict ( someone wiser may know the answer ), by enabling the 4k upscaling I am guessing both the TV and the player are doing this at the same time ? or does the TV automatically do this ? if so what exactly is the point of the 4k upscaling then on a BR player since you need a 4k TV for it to even display 4k upscaling correct ?

I'm puzzled by this and or if there is something specific I have to change in the setup of the TV or player for this to display correctly. 1080p DVD looks decent on my TV yet I wanted to see what 4k DVD upscaling looks like with it turned on.

Any advice or input would help thanks.

If you set the player to 4k, the TV isn't upscaling at all. Your TV must do a better job upscaling from 1080p to 4k than your player. Just set the player to 1080p.
