There are already DVD players on the market that will upscale to 4K.

The keyword for my previous post was "practical". A super-high-definition TV would not be practical for just viewing material from a DVD that can upscale the content, which content wasn't originally created for the ultra-high-def TV. An ultra-high-def TV will remain impractical until TV broadcasts start being delivered in that mode.

These TV’s have the capacity to “upconvert” the standard HD 720 - 1080 signal to something approaching 2 - 4K depending on the quality of the original signal. Translation = The existing picture it delivers will look a whole lot better than any regular 1080p TV. That is a good thing, especially when it comes to movies, sports, etc.
