Mine is a 65-inch Vizio, that I paid $650 for three years ago. Its not insanely high-end, but it does a good enough job for me.

Upscalers are very tricky, because what they're basically doing is trying to expand the image artificially with information not present in the source. No matter how good an upscaled Blu-Ray image appears, it will not hold up when compared to a properly-restored 4K version. Think of it this way: imagine you have a photo that's about the size of a postage stamp, and you want to turn that same shot into an 8x10. You could try scanning it at a ridiculously high resolution, and then manipulating it with Photoshop or a similar program after that. But it still won't have the same quality as if you had an original version of that image at a larger size. You can't replace information that doesn't exist.
