It's a Samsung BD-J5900 , does 3D as well as upconverts DVD to 1080i. What do I need to watch 3D ? And if I need a "3D" TV, that's a non-starter.

The apps on it are pretty pathetic in number, as well as what's available in it's "App store". I have a Fire TV if I really want to stream.

I do believe you need a 3D TV set to see 3D. I think that player scales to 1080p. My oldest 4K set can do 3D. The others can't. Never use it.

You might be correct on the 1080p upscale. I'm using it on an "ancient" (when that size cost $600+ ) Olevia 32 inch that has a screen size of 1368 x 768 pixels. Still has a great picture IMO. But it is a little difficult to tell the difference between a blu ray disc and an upscaled DVD on this TV.

You are at the mercy of your upscaler. Some upscalers do a decent job of filling in the blanks when presented with a less than 4K (or less than HD) picture. A bad upscaler can make anything look like garbage.
I just got the Dunkirk 4K DVD and played on my 4K Samsung DVD player into my Samsung 4K 82" 80 series flat screen. Amazing quality video, and the Dolby sound had my wife coming into the theater and saying "You're shaking the house!" Had to tell her "But dear, it's a WAR. Have to recreate it at original levels!"
