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

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

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.

Mitch - I suppose the answer is: "future-proofing" (and bragging rights)

Call the mfgr. of your projector and ask for tech support or a tech rep. Tell them you have some questions and see if you get a straight answer. Has the projector been reviewed by any competent writer you could contact? They usually do a lot of tests.
