I watch some 1080p movies on 4k monitor. The monitor doesn’t seem to have any upscaling algorithm, but does PowerDVD have? 1080p movies seem to look sharper on 4k TV, and I believe that is because the TV can upscale lower res content quite well.

I think the "4K upscaling" is just a marketing term rather than actual upscaling as the original quality stands there.

However, some video enhancements (fabrication) could be possible as our eyes are not accurate machine but easily affected subjectively.

You might use the TrueTheater features to increase some video sharpness, brightness, contrast, or saturation during playback.

For me, I just like the original taste even though it is at lower resolution.
