BDV-N790W 4K support?

[tambeshakunt]

I was looking to buy a 4K TV and I have the Sony BDV-N790W home theatre system.

Does anyone know if this home theatre system supports 4K video output?

Thanks!

No, I don't think so. 4k movies aren't even available on discs and that device doesn't have a HDMI input, so 4k support would be pretty useless for that particular device.

It does have 2 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output. Aren't movies like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Amazing-Spider-Man-Blu-ray-4K/dp/B00D6AASB2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405347147&sr=8-1&keywords=4k+movies in 4k??

Huh, I must have accidentally looked at the specs of a wrong device, my bad.

In any case, the device only supports 1080p or lower: http://store.sony.com/3d-blu-ray-home-theater-system-zid27-BDVN790W/cat-27-catid-All-Home-Theater-Systems

That is a 4k movie and even though your device only supports 1080p or lower like Eduello said 1080p is still great.

Right..ok. One more thing, if I buy a 4k tv and watch 1080p content on it, will it look worse than a native 1080p TV since for the 4K tv, 1080p is not its native res. Or will it be upscaled and look better?

 

[Eduello]

It should be pretty much the same, since the scale of the resolution is the same; If you play 1080p content on a 4k TV, a 2x2 block of pixels will output one pixel from the 1080p video, so upscaling shouldn't mess it up.

Ok so it should look equally good as a 1080p TV..right?

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you!
