| | Posted: | | | | LED is a form of LCD, too - it merely uses a different type of backlighting (LED instead of CCFL), but the basic characteristics are the same.
And within the group of LED-LCD displays there are edge-lit, full-array and local dimming types of LED. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

can a 4K TV play 3D in normal HD Quality with no upscaling?
Can a 4K TV play 2D in normal HD Quality with no upscaling?
Yes, 4K TV have an upscaling for 2D discs to show them as 4K But can a 4K TV play 2D in normal HD Quality with no upscaling? | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] | | | | Last edited: by bbbbb |

| | Posted: | | | | No every frame is upscaled. It is not computer monitor where you can switch resolution. Your TV will always display 3840 x 2140 pixels for any type of content. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

| | Posted: | | | | If UHD TVs offer a basic upscaling option without interpolation then it should be the same as if no upscaling had taken place. |

| | Posted: | | | | For all fellow users interested in a comparison of top-of-the-range OLED vs. LED-LCD screens (and especially for mreeder50), here's an in-depth comparison of the LG EG960V OLED (that's a 9600 in the US and 9609 in Germany) vs. the Samsung 55" JS9000 LED-LCD. The article in question was written by a UK-based professional in screen calibrations with input from an IT consultant/AV journalist. Enjoy! | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

Even if I connect that TV (display) with the computer? Small UHD TVs (displays) are much cheaper than big UHD monitors (displays). | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

Rough estimate. But can the 4K TVs play normal HD Quality with no upscaling? That question has already been answered several times. |

I know this is something they should provide as part of the installation, but spend the extra money and have the LCD calibrated and all that "artificial, unnatural and washed-out blacks" will go away.
I used calibrated settings from a website. They claim it is indeed TV specific, but if you copy them, in most cases you get up to 95% of the perfect settings. The settings seem to work just fine for me. So I'm not sure if a calibration will make any difference to my eyes. I use the calibration disks that are available. Currently for HD-BD I use the Spears & Munsil setup disk. Also covers 3D depth setup, which made a big difference. Now waiting on the 4k version when the new 4k players come out next year. Using these disks gives a better picture for my eyes. I find that using 'canned' settings is just setting up to someone else's idea of what it should look like. |

If at least we could see Tv with mkv quality it should be great.
Only content seen that way happens in one channel of 40.
Some with avaiable movies
So for me , buying a 4k tv is really useless at these moments.
Happy with my 45" plasma. |
