Here is just one expert opinion among many:

"Native 4K" refers to video content that was originally shot and produced in 4K resolution, while "upscaled 4K" means a lower resolution video (like 1080p) has been digitally enhanced to appear as 4K, resulting in a less detailed image even though the displayed resolution is the same; essentially, native 4K is considered significantly superior to upscaled 4K as it contains more inherent detail."
I've explained this four times now but you refuse to understand. Everyone else is tired of reading about it.
