Upscaling video quality

[metalheadted]

I'm planning on buying a 4K disc player that upscales blurays to BD60. If the 4K version is only BD66 would it be that noticeable if I just purchased the bluray(BD50) and it got upscale to BD60 as compared to purchasing the 4K (BD66)?

Noticeable to WHO?

Upscaling does not give you more detail. And you're not upscaling to "BD50" or "BD60", you're upscaling to 2160p if you're going for UHD.

That means that every pixel of your 1080p source becomes 4 pixels on your 2160p display. Many 2160 displays will do this for you, without worrying about a particular playback source.

Ok, thanks. I rechecked the specs and it states that it upscales up to 60p. So, will that make a difference if I watch a normal bluray on this 4K bluray player, significantly?

Remember that this forum isn't to support consumer BD or UHD players. MakeMKV is for ripping the video off of those disks to MKV files on your computer (or network), which then can be played by any MKV-aware player, from software on your PC to hardware video players like Roku and FireTV to even some TVs with built-in hardware players. Your choice of a consumer 4K UHD player might not even be able to play MKV files...
