How is the effect of low resolution source input go through 4K upscaler from TV

[dgsddfgdfhgs]

I am going to get a 4k TV soon but my video input will be mostly at 1080p/720p.

I believe the 4K upscale is TV embedded function , I wonder is this function just a anti aliasing by tv?

 

Only have a gts450 in htpc so theres no way I can get native resolution at  4k..

Windows set this automatically, you can change it if you like, but usually its just fine.

no, the current source of windows is just 1080p (or 1440p which is being limited by this weak little gpu) while content played is at 1080p/720p

Depends on the tv, some are really shit at it and leave the image looking blocky and blurry while others are quite decent, especially if you sit back a bit from the image.

 

But yes the TV will upscale from whatever resolution you feed it (in your case 2560x1600 I believe) to fill the panel.

It depends a lot on how the upscaler works in the TV. 

 

The ideal is to have the GPU do the upscale, as that removes the latency penalty. Most TV's upscalers are BAD for gaming and you want low-latency and aspect-ratio matching.

 

4K computer monitors tend not to blur things if scaled from 1080p to 2160p, as it's a simple pixel doubling. 

 

I'd suggest taking a smartphone and use a HDMI output and go test the screen in the store if possible first. A HDMI screen tends to have a 1080p+ resolution but it will give you a feel for what it actually does.

looking at samsung's 55" RU7100 . which shall be fine in todays standard..

does it mean If I do plan on playing 1080p games on a 4K one day, I will automatically get "enhanced  resolution" / even with no AA?

It's not AA, at best it's bilinear blur.
