What is 2K or 4K is that number of lines on the screen? and then downscaled to 1080p?

I would assume that most of my DVD collection would have been filmed in 35mm and then downscaled from there. Would the Star Wars series be a 4K? and possibly worth picking it up in BD if it were released? (GL please release the series )

I do like action films, including some sci-fi or even cinematic movies with beautiful lanscapes

1080p etc. are t.v. measurements of resolution, 2k and 4k are movies studio measurements. They have always differed on formats. 2k and 1080p are almost the same, with 2k having slightly more pixels. 4k is far above it. Film has always had very very high resolution, it's just we never had the median to bring it into the home before. DVD's don't have near the space or bitrate capability to produce a high quality high-res image. Blu-ray is technically capable of more than it's doing right now(would probably need triple layers or more to hold the data to send the bitrates it's capable of though)
