What is the point of upscaling?
To present lower-resolution material on a 4k TV, the TV has to perform a process called upscaling. This process increases the pixel count of a lower-resolution image, allowing a picture meant for a screen with fewer pixels to fit a screen with many more.

There is a difference between upscaling and what we call native resolution. Upscaling a 1080p image into 4K means taking an image originally encoded in 1920×1080 and algorithmically transforming it into what a higher-resolution version of the same image ought to look like.

How does 4K upscaling work?
4K upscaling is the process where the player enhances the original input resolution. For the process to function the input quality must be Full HD (1920×1080). The player will upscale the original resolution from 1920×1080 to 3840×2160. 4K native content means that the input resolution is already 3840×2160 (4K).
