LG BP730 or PS4

Apr 30, 2014 10:07AM PDT

I just bought a LG5534 4K Ultra HD TV 2160p 240Hz. I am trying to figure out if 4K upscaling would be better with the LG BP730 or with the PS4? Does my TV prefer the LG blu ray player or does it matter? No one has been able to answer this question. I even called LG and the person I spoke with couldn't answer this question.

My bet is this would be subjective and not definitive.

As such my bet is depending on content, one may win then the next day, the other will win.

I can see how this could make some agitated.

Wasn't upscaling on players considered some what a gimmick as the tv itself can do the upscaling.As for blueray player or playstation I'm with you.

My upscaling DVD player does far better than the Smart TV. Same story of upscaling on my old PS3. That is, so far upscaling in other than the TV seems better but for 4K this may change and we'll have to test what we feel does the better job.

Thanks to everyone for your answers. I have decided to keep them both. I should be testing later in the week and I will let you know. I have a feeling that they both will be great. I think that most of the upscaling will be done on my 55LA9650 so I will be surprised if I see any difference.
