Question 4K Upscaling with NVIDIA Shield

[fahadsgalaxy]

Hi,

I'm planning to get an AVR, im kinda interested in both Denon AVR-X2500H and the Sony STR-DN1080

One big difference in both models I came to see is the 4K upscaling. While Sony is limited to upscale only with input of 1080p at 24fps, but the Denon doesn't have this limitation

But I just realized that I`ll be using my Plex on my NVIDIA Shield for my Movie/Shows , and if my Shield is set to 4K resolution, the AVR might not upscale anything at all

Am I missing something ?

That is essentially correct. The AVR will deal with the signal as it's presented on its HDMI INPUTS. If you are playing with Shield and is sending 4K, so AVR says, 4K, no up conversion needed.
