Well Im going get myself a 4k TV soon
I am planning to duplicate / mirror my 1080p monitor with my 4k TV.
So is the 4k TV going to project a 1080p image or 4k image?
Using windows 7 enterprise.

It sure is a waste, but then again, OP seems adamant on somehow running two displays in mirrored mode AND in their separate native resolutions, so what else could you suggest?
My suggestion is really the only logical thing to do if it's absolutely necessary to use mirrored instead of expanded desktop mode.

This really isn't an issue. 1080 scales perfectly to a 4k screen; it won't appear razor-sharp, but it won't look terrible either. Just set the 4k display to 1080 and call it a day. This defeats the purpose of having a 4K TV.
It could be argued these are a waste in general since you can't get any 4K content, but surely if you are going out to spend all that money on a 4K TV you would want to run it at its native resolution.

... Is there a way to force it to run in 4k? Like sort of... tricking the pc thinking that my 1080p monitor is a 4k monitor..
I really need to use duplication for convenience sake.
If windows tried to display 4K on your 1080p monitor, it simply wouldn't work.
Extended desktop can't be that hard to manage.
