And don't forget that all the TV's in Currys etc are on demo mode (burn your eye balls brightness) and not using the settings you would use in your own home.

Ok. Remember that you will notice improved picture quality only with native 4K content (only 2 programmes on Netflix are natively 4K). Otherwise, with 1080p content, picture quality will be comparable and slightly worse than a 1080p TV displaying 1080p pictures.

But dealers, and several reviews, do say that 1080p material on a 4K television CAN (not always) look better than the same 1080p material on a 1080p television ....

Yes, I read that. 1080p picture quality on a 4K screen is very good. But remember that the 4K TV makes up 75% of the picture to fill the screen. So only 25% of the picture is the true image, rest 75% is a guesswork by the TV (adding information which wasn't there in the first place). So personally, I am skeptical of the reviews when they state that 4K TV shows better picture for 1080p material than a 1080p TV. They haven't compared with a good 1080p TV then.

Yes he did. All the clips we compared were 1080p clips compared on four 4K TVs vs Panasonic ZT plasma vs LG OLED.

You mean, a good 1080p television like your old Pioneer Kuro 500A or your newish Panasonic 50VT65, boom-boom! Yet, I'm fully prepared to concede that you may be right, but I'd have to see the side-by-side comparison of 1080p material on a 4K TV and 1080p material on a 1080p TV for myself. Remember, about three years ago, I'm the man who couldn't hear an improvement of an acclaimed (but small) £1,200 subwoofer over his own £400 Tannoy TS12 subwoofer that he had taken to the shop to have a known machine against which to compare the £1,200 subwoofer .......... As opposed to my £1,200 SVS PC12-Plus subwoofer that I bought "deaf" from LSound in Norway, and which is clearly better than my two Tannoy TS12's combined. So if an improvement is there, I'll readily acknowledge it, but only if an improvement is actually there, not just supposed to be there!

Fair do's .........

(By the way, bigboss, I've added another post to that thread about the Yamaha RX-A3040 and Dolby Atmos.)
