Re: HD Vs 4K
A 4K video will certainly play on a HD screen -- but it will only show as a HD video on that screen. Equally, a HD video will play on a 4K screen, but it will still only be a HD video.

Re: HD Vs 4K
This is valid only for the last generation of the screens which supports 4k videos. They should understand the 4k video, to able to play them even in lower HD resolution. As we see also on VS, not all 4k formats are supported. 2-3 years old HD screens will probably not accept the 4k videos.Ken Berry wrote:A 4K video will certainly play on a HD screen -- but it will only show as a HD video on that screen.

Re: HD Vs 4K
My point is that it should. In the same way that HD video will play on SD screens: the screen just displays what it is capable of.

Re: HD Vs 4K
I have a 6 year old Samsung HD TV that has no problems playing 4K videos. Of course it can't play them in 4K resolution but "converts" them to 1920x1080 HD video when playing.weaver wrote:This is valid only for the last generation of the screens which supports 4k videos.
