1080p look really bad on huge screen, why? Simply because the pixels are MUCH bigger than on smaller ones TVs, and you start seeing the limitation of such display due to this very simple fact.

Now, that you do not want to believe me or Sharp on this one is fine, I personally don’t care, but the fact that they succeed to upscale 1080p in making it gorgeous on an 4K TV is just a fact. Look at the second photo in the gallery, the Display on the right offer more details of the same 1080p video that is shown on the left. In addition the left screen, due to larger/bigger pixel offer a less “sharp” image that give to the overall video some kind of “blurry” effect that you won’t find on the ICC-LED 4K One.

The only time 1080p movies looked terrible were on my old rear-projection HDTV.

There is so much fail in this post I almost don’t know where to begin. Firstly, 1080p movies do *not* look terrible on 60-80″ screens. I watch Blu-rays on a screen 4 meters wide and the resolution still holds up quite nicely, even from a seating distance of 1x screen width! Sure, it’s no 4K but it most definitely does not look “horrible”, not on a 60″ screen and not on a 230″ screen either.

Secondly, what on earth are you blithering about, “upscale 1080p video into 4K ones without any lost in details”? There’s never any loss in detail when upscaling from 2K/1080p to 4K digitally!

Thirdly, that picture you refer to says absolutely nothing, zilch, nix, nada, about the display’s scaling capabilities. Both screens in the photo look exactly the same resolution-wise. The only difference is somewhat different colours.

Honestly, what a terrible “news” post.
