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.
I have compared DVDs to BDs on my 4K sets. BDs upscale beautifully, DVDs don't. There's a huge difference. We still have over a hundred (WAG) DVDs left in the house, they never get used.
OK, let me refine my statement...I cannot remember one DVD that I watched on the 4K sets that didn't annoy me because of the PQ. Never had an issue with BDs. I had a reason for throwing out all our DVDs, bins and bins of DVDs some not even opened. I threw out the whole Soprano's DVD set unopened. Shouldn't say "threw out", I donated them to a church but the people that got their hands on the bins swiped them and sold most of them on eBay. Dirtbags.
I have seen some impressive upscaling work by my Oppo 203 to a Samsung KS9000. I watched True Grit regular DVD lately, and it was stunning what the oppo did with the Samsung Display.
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!"

AGREE!!! theres lots of factors playing into how well they upscale including how they were filmed...
