[SOLVED] Does 1080p content look worse

[nbartolo7]

on 4K monitors/TVs than on 1080p monitors/TVs?

Opposed to a native 1080p monitor of equal quality? Yes, at least to some degree.

Non-native has interpolation involved - typically (exclusively?) either nearest neighbour or bicubic scaling.
NN will double pixels, bicubic loses sharpness compared to native.

Long story short yes it does lose quality as opposed to display with native 1080p to some extent.

Edit: I was typing as Barty1884 posted. He said it better. Wouldn't post if had seen his reply.
