Nope. 1080p from cable or direct tv look great on my x900f 4k. The upscaler does a great job. SD stuff (480) can look a little rough but no different than on my older 1080 tv. Make sure to calibrate your settings and you should be good. I start with the "cinema pro" setting in video settings and tweak from there. Avoid all that "motion smoothing" crap if you can help it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All 1080P Will look gritty on A 4KTV. What you can do is turn on the digital noise filters and reality creation off to smooth it out. Or better yet if you have an xbox s or x, you can run your cables through that and it will upscale to 4k n look way better. Once you go 4K it's really hard to go back to 1080P. 4k, wide color gamut and hdr just cant be beat.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later."Haunted" is just NOT correct with his answer that he gave you, and here is why- you asked how regular HD looked on a 4K panel. You are basically correct in what you have stated that you have heard. This panel (and ANY 4K panel) HAS to "upconvertt" that HD signal from DirecTV to 4K. "Haunted" said broadcast or in otherwords 720p/1080i is what 2K HD is...NOT 1080p (which is not broadcast/DirecTV, but Blu-ray DVD's...a different thing). Yes, 1080p (Blu-ray discs) look very very good on 4k panels. Having settled that, SONY still has BETTER "up converter" processing than any other brand, so buying SONY is still your best choice if you are still watching (like most of us) broadcast material (720p/1080i). But you are not incorrect about what you have heard. That IS the "dirty little secret" about 4K panels. So now that all 1080p /2K panels are like the do-do bird or dinosaurs and extinct, get a panel that best handles 1080i...still SONY. I hope that helped.
