The Fox Network will be broadcasting the Super Bowl, and other playoff games, in an upscaled version of 4K. Upscaling means that they will take the native 1080p signal and use a video processor to add, or interpolate, additional pixels to the broadcast signal. So, instead of 1920x1080 pixels, you will get 3840x2160 pixels, 4 times as many. This is supposed to produce a better picture than 1080p, but don't count on it. Networks don't want to spend the extra money to produce native 4K content.

So, make sure your TV is set to the 4K resolution to see if you can tell the difference.

I forgot what the pixel count was, but I read somewhere the human eyes
can focus on so many pixels at a time, after that, it doesn't make a difference.

Thanks. Any prediction on who will be playing in it?

No. My engineering manual doesn't have a formula for that.

Probably KC vs Buffalo with Buffalo winning and then Buffalo winning over SF in the Super Bowl.

I forgot to mention, that if you watch the game in 4K, remember that only 25 percent of the screen will be the actual game. The other 75 percent will be produced by computer generated pixels.

Yes.

I'm watching the Eagles/Giants game right now with Directv on channel 105. It's in 4K HDR. I went back and forth between 4K and HD, and there's really no comparison. The 4K is much brighter and more clear. I think the only thing better would be sitting in the stadium. I'm watching on a 77" LG OLED, so not sure if that makes a difference.

You’re right. 4K does make a difference. Great picture quality (Xfinity).

The bigger the tv screen the more difference you can see with 4K. On smaller screens (e.g. 55 inches), not so much.

Any chance that they might bring this technology to Wheel of Fortune?

As long as I/m able to watch it is ok with me
