Whatever your watching needs to be broadcast in 4k to actually see 4k. Change your settings to auto detect to allow the tv to use the format in which the program broadcast.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.UHD 4K programming is currently only available on the new 4K HD Blu-ray discs, and a handful of internet-based subscription services. There is no 4K broadcast (over-the-air) or cable delivered programming available at this time, nor will there be any, at least, for the next several years, as there have been no standards developed to facilitate such broadcasts, nor are there any currently in any advanced stages of development. It is likely it would be at least three or four years, if not longer, before such broadcasts were to be approved by the FCC, and the various networks and local stations were to gear up for 4K programming. Even today, some 15 years after the introduction of HDTV, broadcasters and cablecasters are only sending out signals only in the 720p format, and not in the higher resolution format of 1080p, which is available on standard Blu-ray discs, due to the lack of development of 1080p broadcast standards. Long story short, unless a consumer invests in one of the newer 4K HD Blu-ray players, selling now for between $200 and $300, depending on make and model, playing one of the newer HD Blu-ray discs (Identified, usually, with a black stripe across the top of the artwork on the cover of the case), or uses one of the pay-per-view download services, the best resolution one can currently see is 1080p from Blu-ray discs played on a Blu-ray player, or 720p from broadcast or cable station sources.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will only display as good as the original content. OTA broadcast is typically 720 or 1080. BlueRay and Streaming is higher, possibly as high as 2080 (aka 4K or UHD)
