In the market for a new receiver but want to save me from doing mini upgrades and prepare for the next wave - 4K in a few years, so would it be best to get a 4K upscale receiver now or a 4K pass through receiver?
Granted, I would need a 4K TV later but say, this is possible in 5 years time, which 4K capable receiver would be good to get now?
I am leaning toward 4K pass through
Any thoughts?
From my limited understanding on the terms. Please correct me if I am incorrect.
4K upscale - will upscale the incoming signal to 4K resolution but will not push native 4K signal through..
4K pass through - will essentially move the incoming (native 4k) signal to the 4K TV but no upscaling of non 4K signal being pushed through..
