Agreed.

There are some important things to consider when judging video quality, and those are the resolution of the signal source and the capabilities of the display device.

HD content on an HDTV looks amazing.

4K content on a 4K TV is stunning (you have to see it to believe it).

SD content (without any upconversion or other processing) on an HD/4K will look very disappointing at best, or outright horrendous.

SD content on an SD TV will look fine for what it is.

HD content* on an SD TV will also look amazingly good (better than an SD signal), all things considered, even though the TV can't show the full resolution.







*Given that the source equipment has the appropriate output, or intermediate adapters are used.
