What is the difference between this tv and a 1080p null

This is a Ultra High definition (UHD) TV, which is commonly referred to as a 4K unit, with a horizontal resolution of 2160 pixels across the screen, which is exactly twice as many pixels as an older1080p High Definition set, resulting in a much higher resolution image. The set also has High Dynamic Range (HDR). which broadens the color palette to many millions more colors than those from a regular 1080p set, resulting in a more realistic looking picture. HDR is not usually available on 1080p TV sets. Many, if not most 4K UHD sets are capable of upscaling a 2K HD picture source, such as a movie on a Blu-ray disc to near 2160p image quality, and may even work some magic on older DVD format video discs. If you are able, do a side-by-side comparison of a 4K set to a regular 1080p set, and you will immediately see the improvement in the clarity of the picture, as well as the color resolution. But currently there are no TV station or cable channels broadcasting in 4K UHD, and to get the finest picture quality, one would need to get a new 4K Blu-ray player and play the new format UHD Blu-ray discs, which are identified, usually by a black band across the top of the plastic disc case, as opposed to the bright blue band across the top of regular Blu-ray discs, or other devices that support 4K video downloads from the internet. Talk with a Best Buy product specialist to find out more information about such devices. Since their introduction several years ago, the new 4K UHD sets, have really captured the attention of the American consumers, and now, in 2017, 4K sets are the best selling category of all TVs sold, and due to demand, prices have fallen dramatically, from 4K sets previous years, and are very affordable. For a new set in a main viewing room, such as a living room, family room or den, for critical viewing, 4K is definitely the way to go. 1080p sets have now dropped to the entry-level position of the TV manufacturers' line-ups, and are now more suitable for rooms with occasional use, such as a basement or garage, or maybe a bedroom of a pre-teen child, who may mostly watch older broadcast and cable shows, or animated cartoons, that are not high definition.
