UHD Upscaling I have a 4K player and will be buying a 4K TV soon. I am wondering if there is a significant upgrade in picture quality when playing DVDs with UHD. I make posters for my Zazzle store of public domain movies, some of which are only on DVD. So if you have an opinion on UHD with regard to DVDs I will appreciate your thoughts. TY

Yes you definitely will. Just turn on 4k output in the settings and you will see a great improvement from all sources. But bluray and netflix will be upscaled to near 4k even on a 1080p tv. Other streaming sources should work as well.

That will depend on the Tv you buy. If you spend less than a $1000 on one.. The upscaler in the Tv will not be good.. Sony and Samsung are your best bet with 4k. Stay away from anyone else. You really get what you pay for with these Tv's today. I have a top end Sony 4k with this player and it makes my old Dvd's near Bluray quality.
Good luck!
