Hi All,
My laptop has a plain vanilla Intel HD that displays at max resolution of 1080 when connected to an external monitor. I am considering to get a Vizio M series 50" 4K tv as a monitor.
My concern/question is will the 4k tv be able to display the 1080 resolution properly? Vizio advertise it can "upscale" on the 4k tv, which I gather it can convert to 4K.
1) Will the 4k tv be able to display 1080 with clarity?
2) Will the 4k tv be able to actually upscale the 1080 to something close to 4K?
3) I am assuming I would need to get a HDMI 2.0 cable to connect between my laptop and the 4k tv to even try to see if (1) and (2) above would work. Is that correct?
It will be great if I can get the extra resolution, but even if not, I still would like to know if it can display 1080 nicely.
Thank you,
Gerry.
