4K TV industry runs faster than that of 4K film and video production, which leads 4K TV owners have insufficient 2160p video sources to watch. So here come the questions:
Q1. Can 4K TV play non-4K (like 1080p and 720p) videos normally and clearly?
Yes, they can be played normally in full screen. But the playback quality depends.
Any video that meets the video format/codec requirement of 4K TV can be played successfully. Because all 4K TVs are built-in with advanced video processing chips to upscale general SD or HD videos to 4K resolution automatically.
Real-time scaling algorithm, together with processing speed, affect the final image quality. So you may find out that different 4K TVs may display one 1080p video with discriminating visual effects. Also, it's nonsense and unadvisable to put poor original video at lower SD resolution e.g 480p/380p/240p on 4K TV. Because even the best scaling algorithm cannot make up the huge sacrifice brought by direct scaling.
Q2. How to Play 720p/1080p at Its Best on 4K TV?
