    Is a lot of 4K video simply upscaled 1080p? I places like Youtube, i borderline can't tell the difference. They almost look the same, even up close. Is pseudo-4K a thing?

    • I see a lot of upscaling, but also food 4K quality is much more gear dependent than 1080p; A camera lens needs to be good enough to "feed" a 4K sensor fully.evilpeacock
    • Heh... "food" = "good".evilpeacock
    • Also, 4K is exponentially larger to store/stream and a lot of the time is compressed *more* than a 1080 equivalent to compensate. So it gets softer.evilpeacock
    • Very good explanation, thanks!jagara
