4k vs 1080p

Hi, we have a 4k tv connected to an Apple TV HD. Does this mean any app we stream using the Apple TV HD will only show at 1080 on the tv even though it's a 4k tv?

Yes with a small caveat. A lot of 4K TVs will upsample the video to 4K ( my Sony does this by default and you cannot switch it off )


It isn't as good as getting true 4K content fed to it ( as with your Apple TV HD which only feeds a max of 1080P ) but it is a reasonable half way house
