    Does 1080p look worse on 4K TV?

    Originally Answered: Do 1080p videos look bad on 4k TVs? No, they look OK. There’s good reason for that: 4K aka 2160p has exactly 4 times bigger pixel count than 1080p, so when upscaling, every pixel from the 1080p source is rendered by exactly 4 pixels on 4K screen.
