I want my 2160p TV and upscaling Blu-ray player!

Second, upconverted BD on a 2160p tv would look worse than regular BD does on a 1080p tv.

Agree with the last two sentences but not the first one because this thread has started an interesting discussion.

Yes, I cannot see the advantages of upscaling blu-ray in a home environment. Most likely it would deliver an inferior picture due to scaling art-effects. IMO, blu-ray delivers a stunning picture even on a very large screen that could fit in a typical home. The improvements of 2160p in a home environment would be marginal and therefore it is debatable whether it would be economical to develop such a system for the mass market. However, commercial theaters with very very large screens would definitely benefit from higher resolution. IMO, definitely there would be a significant difference between 2K and 4K also 6K in the future cannot be ruled out in relation to commercial theaters.
