What Difference Will A 4k Capable DVD Player Make?

.
My projector has:

Native: 1024x768
and
Maximum: 1600x1200

pixel ratings.

Will I see any picture improvement with one of the new Oppo 103 or 105 Blu Ray players with the 4k video upscaling?

My screen is 16 feet wide and 9 feet tall for a 220 inch diagonal picture. I currently get an excellent picture now. Just wondering if the 4k upscaling in a new Oppo will kick things up a notch.

..thanks,.....mitch

Unless your TV has 4K, no. The TV will just reduce the upscale baack to 'native resolution'.
And the TV may not even work if the player is outputting 4K.
The TV may not know what to do with the unusual signal, or it may be incapable of dealing with it.

I do not use a television. I only use a projector as stated in the original post.

Does your projector offer 4K resolution?
If not, then the same comment applies

Well then, what's the point of 4k capable pre-pros and dvd players? There are no televisions and projectors to speak of with 4k resolution. If the 4k feature doesn't improve the picture on tv's & projectors without 4k, the feature is useless.

According to Projector Central, $24,000 is the lowest starting price for any projector with 4k resolution, ....hardly in the realm of the everyday consumer.
