How to know if UHD TV is Upscaling to 4K?


Question

Posted

I have an LG 79UB980T-TA UHD TV that is fed from an Anthem MRX-510 amplifier generally displaying 1080p MKV files from Plex (via NAS).

 

The question is how do I know if the TV is doing upscaling to 4K or not, is there anyway to tell as just saying it does is a bit dodgy to me (being a bit sceptical sort of person!)?

 

Cheers

      At the start of every year, almost everybody in the tech world gathers in Las Vegas to show off their newest products, technologies and concepts at CES, the world’s biggest consumer electronics show. This year, participating companies were determined to demonstrate how their innovative products and solutions help solve some of Earth’s greatest challenges and change the lives of thousands, if not millions, for the better.
      Inspired by its belief that the answer is always with the customer, LG showcased its most advanced customer-centered innovations that provide entirely new value and convenience to its customers. Here are the five tech keywords for 2023 which cover the areas of personalization, sustainability and virtual reality.

      Me, Myself and I
      With far more people inclined to seek a living space that fully matches their personality, leading consumer electronics companies are rethinking their product development approach in order to build appliances that not only possess excellent features, but also blend effortlessly into various home interiors.
      With this new attitude also comes a greater demand for personalized viewing experiences, especially as people spend more time at home since the onset of the pandemic. That’s why every TV being released is now equipped with an operating system that employs all kinds of features that help individuals find their perfect show instantly with next to no effort on their part.

      Future of Mobility
      Major car makers are shifting their production to electric vehicles and joining top-tier tech software companies to reimagine what a car could and should do in the future. The growing importance of the in-vehicle experience is transforming the future of automobility.
      LG’s Vehicle component Solutions Company is committed to enhancing the driving experience through its expertise and know-how of vehicle parts technologies, so that its customers can develop advanced car models that make the journey more entertaining, easier and, most importantly, safer.

      Lifestyle Devices for Healthier Life
      After living with the pandemic for so long, people are now more concerned with their health than ever before. Under these renewed circumstances, people desire lifestyle devices and solutions that can empower them to take control of their health care and wellbeing while lowering costs at home.
      In line with this trend, lifestyle devices and solutions with digital health technologies will stand out for these growingly discerning customers, who are willing to pay more for products that seem to be made for their healthier lives.

      Sustainable Living
      For everyone who attended or followed this year’s CES, it was clear that sustainability was a major focus. More and more companies, regardless of size and industry, are ranking sustainability higher on their business agendas, which means more companies are inventing products and services with various eco-friendly and accessible features.
      LG showcased the company’s ESG vision in an exclusive exhibit through the Better Life for All zone at CES 2023, introducing a comprehensive overview of LG’s sustainability efforts.

      Be in It
      With the metaverse still deemed to be the future for tech, especially in the gaming industry, more and more people want cutting-edge devices that can make images or sounds that appear far more lifelike than today.
      Driven by growing expectations and demand for a greater sense of reality, more innovative products that help users feel fully immersed in the digital environment will be further thrust into the spotlight in 2023.

      Hi am new to the LG world and accidentally realised this feature. Searched online but didn't find anyone mentioning this so thought to share. 
       
      Did you know that the TV can be powered ON not just by the POWER button on the remote? 
       
      1. Power Button : Turns ON the tv and loads previous source or HOME dashboard (takes few seconds)
       
      2. NETFLIX button : Turns ON the TV directly to the NETFLIX app much lesser time to load. 
       
      3. Prime Video Button : Turns ON the TV directly to the Prime Video app much lesser time to load. 
       
      4. Disney+ Button  : Turns ON the TV directly to the VideoDisney+ app much lesser time to load. 
       
      5. Any Digit on the Number pad powers on the TV but no point as the shortcuts do not work. 
       
      If this was a known information then sorry for the post

      Starting the year off with
      link hidden, please login to view, the innovations unveiled provided a preview of technologies that are likely to dominate the news this year. Here are five keywords that are sure to influence our lives in 2022 and beyond:
      The global pandemic has shown us that there is nothing more important than health and wellness. In a survey, 79 percent of respondents said they believe that wellness is important while 42 percent consider it a top priority. LG, along with other companies, will continue developing technologies and devices that promote hygiene and improve health inside the home. At CES 2022, LG unveiled products aimed at enhancing health and nutrition, including the new LG PuriCare AeroTower for cleaner indoor air and LG tiiun to grow fresh, nutritional greens even without a garden.

      With people now spending more time at home, consumers are getting more creative in utilizing their personal space. Developed for today’s home-centric lifestyle, LG Objet TV and LG StanbyME feature differentiated designs that make everyday living more enjoyable. LG’s newest lifestyle TVs look beautiful in any room, seamlessly blending in with any interior. Now anyone can relax with a movie or get in a quick YouTube workout without having to visit a movie theater or gym.

      Metaverse, a portmanteau combining meta (meaning beyond) and universe, has become a popular part of our lexicon. What many tech innovators are theorizing will be the future of the internet, the metaverse may one day allow everyone to connect online for work, travel or entertainment via their digital avatars.
      As more consumers embrace this new concept, LG products and devices such as the UltraGear Gaming Laptop, UltraFine Display and UltraGear Gaming Speaker will help users navigate the virtual universe more realistically by enhancing the sense of immersion for the ultimate metaverse experience.

      LG shared its vision for future mobility at CES 2022 with OMNIPOD, the company’s future mobility concept cabin that blurs the line between home and vehicle. Featuring advanced modular in-vehicle appliances, adaptive interior environment utilizing a moving Meta Environment Screen and AI concierge service, OMNIPOD demonstrates what LG envisions for the future of mobility.

      As consumers around the globe push companies to conduct business more responsibly, it’s crucial that businesses create products and services that prioritize the planet. LG is leveraging its R&D knowhow to develop technologies that do just that. LG’s newest array of home appliances and air solutions such as WashTower, InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerator and Therma V air-to-water heat pump ensure that minimal energy is wasted to reduce the environmental impact when running home appliances. And, also designed with the environment in mind, the 2022 LG Soundbar lineup has a lower carbon footprint throughout the entire product lifecycle, shipping with 100 percent paper packaging, using recycled plastic resin for its outer case and also saving energy during usage with relatively modest power consumption.

      Hi, I'm playing an old videogame (Nintendo SNES or NES, 16bit or 8bit) on my LG TV, but I see very bad the screen, the upscaling seems bilinear.
      I think LG should include various kinds of upscaling methods for videogame mode, such as nearest neighbor, waifu2x, XBRZ ..
      Please add some settings to make old guys happy ..
      Thanks

      Hi LG
      When playing a video file that is 3840 x 2160 (UHD) in OLED55CX (4K), there is a small black bar at the top and bottom. Is the TV supposed to upscale automatically to its 4k resolution which is 4096 x 2160? How do I upscale it without picture being cut of?
      Regards,
      Anish
