Will this tv upconvert Direct TV to 4K?

The best upconverting tvs of 4k group were the Sharp IC 60" (cost prohibitive) and Toshiba. Toshiba may come in competitive with the smaller sizes.

It will but it looks soft. If you do not have an OPPO BDP1-03 blue ray player/video processor I would not recommend it for that.

Thank you for your question. No matter the format that is being up-converted, up-conversion only works to a degree. It can't make programming not shot in 4K look as clean as true 4K material. It will do something to slightly improve the quality but it can't perform magic to programming not produced in the format. Thanks again very much.

It has a built-in processor otherwise whenever you played content that was less than 4k it would only fill up a portion of the screen but that built-in processor will not upconvert to 4k from 720p/1080p which will result in a "soft" picture. You need a AV Receiver that upconverts to 4k like the Onkyo 809/818 or a 4k upconverting Blu-Ray player that has an HDMI input like the Oppo.

I think all new TV's in the US are required to have a digital tuner (my 2 year old Vizio certainly does) so no converter needed. I tried checking the Vizio site, but it was having problems.

yes it does 4k and gpu is at 450hz, so if ur tv refresh rate supports 120hz, then i say yes...on another note, this is a great box, super fast and real 1080p resolution with xbmc!

It up scales hd connections. If you connect a non hd connection (vcr,dvd, etc) it won't be a 4k quality image. It'll look a bit better but there is a limit to it

if your tv is not capable of digital conversion, yes you will need a digital convertor

LOL no it doesn't work like that. 4k will look THE SAME as 1080p from about 10ft. At about 6 feet the difference is pretty visible. At 4 feet its obvious. Keep in mind this TV takes advantage of other features that most 1080p sets don't have, like advanced local dimming (for higher contrast) and the triluminos display (for better colors)

I'm sure it will, I don't have a 4K tv yet, but I hooked this up from my new Denon 4K, 3D receiver to my Sony tv and noticed the picture improved. Even regular DVDs picture improved. I had an 8 year old HDMI cable I replaced.

I do not know. I know it isn't as good as the old 2" Cascio I had before the system changed to all digital. This TV will not pick up but one station, Ion, and the tower is fifteen miles from my house. This is not a good television--I wasted my money.

Yes. As long as the bluray player has a output resolution supported by the conversion box.

It will work with standard receiver but you will not have HD picture. Directv upgraded mine free of charge.

No you need an HDTV converter box, which runs about $30 to $45. It's probably best to upgrade the TV to an HDTV so you don't have to to waste that money towards the HDTV converter box.

If you are referring to the TV's upscaling processors then the answer is yes, the TV will take anything that isn't 4k and give it more detail

Yes it does "upscale" regular DVDs. Regarding 4K I haven't checked but I dont think it will do.

If it appears that the box if advertising brings support for 4k, but I have not tried.

Yes. If you look at the description Amazon has in the section titled "Quality Picture and Sound" it says what hdtv resolutions it supports and it does say 4K.

No, unless you have certain Samsung or Sony TV with RVU technology. https://support.directv.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3992

Yes it does upscale all video signals processed through the receiver to 4k.
