Default Blu-ray is 1080p, so why care about 4k scans?
Blu-ray is 1080p. It does not support HDR. Whatever the scan used, it will still be encoded and displayed at 1080p. So if all of this is true, why is there this push for 4k scans on regular Blu-rays?

Mind you, I'm not talking about UHDs. UHDs are 4K and support HDR and wide gamut color. There the source is being encoded and displayed at 4K resolution, but a regular Blu-ray is still just 1080p, no matter how you slice it.

Is there really a difference between a clean 1080p/2k/4k source if the end result is encoded and displayed in 1080p?
