Does 1080p Upscale Better than 1440p on an LG C4 TV?

I'm setting up my first PC and looking to get an LG C4 4K TV to connect it to. I've heard some chatter about how 1080p upscaled to 4K looks sharper than 1440p upscaled to 4K. Is this really the case? I'm not super tech-savvy, so I'd appreciate any insights!

Yeah, it’s true for TVs with mediocre upscaling, but the LG C4 handles 1440p to 4K really well. You might find it looks good regardless of the source resolution.

What GPU are you using? If you’ve got an Nvidia card, definitely try using DLSS for upscaling. It does a much better job than the TV itself would.

Yes, because scaling 1080p (1920x1080) to 4K is easier, making the image sharper. Upscaling 1440p (2560x1440) is more demanding since it doesn't scale as cleanly, resulting in poorer visuals.

Actually, 1440p upscaled to 4K generally looks better than 1080p upscaled to 4K. On my 42" C2 OLED, I’ve noticed it’s sharper in nearly all scenarios. Aim for the highest resolution that your settings can handle.
