    That is what's so annoying. The choice of 2160p was an option when the box was first released,but disappeared after one of the software updates. I did ask Humax when this might be put right but they didn't have a clue.

    its still there as an option on mine but when selected actually changes to 576 so produces a far worse picture - 1080p setting still the best.

    Was listed as a feature when I bought it so should be there!

    It has been passed to the development team, but there will be no priority to fix I suspect as no broadcasts are available in that resolution.

    Me too... what's the point of having a machine that promised to upscale when it doesn't

    Not really the point, at point of sale it worked and was originally listed as a feature so I don't expect it to just be removed

    The picture quality is greatly improved when using 2160p on a 4K TV,and as another poster has stated,it was a listed feature when the box was purchased.

    I'll have to take your word for that.

    All the pre release documentation I have access to including numerous drafts of the user manual do not mention 2160p anywhere.

    Hi guys, just thought I'd share my experience on this. I've got a 49" lg 4K ultra tv. What I noticed is when the 4000t is connected directly to my tv the 2160p resolution works fine. But occasionally reverts back to 1080i for some bizarre reason, so I just checked it every now and again to see if it had changed resolution and put it back. I recently got a projector which required me to route everything through my home theatre system so that I could get everything running as I wanted it to. But now it's running via that I don't even get the option for 2160p anymore on the 4000t. Only goes up to 1080p. If I connect it again directly to the tv up pops the 2160p option. My home theatre system is a lg product that already has 4K up scaling built in. But I'm buggered if I know why it won't output my 4000t in 2160p. Just thought I'd share that in case anyone else has theirs linked via a home theatre system. I used to use the arc function between the tv and home theatre system as everything was plugged into my tv directly. But since i got the projector it all had to change.

    not sure how to prove it but if you google reviews from October 2015 there are a few references to it online and also if never meant to be there why even now is it still listed under video settings when connecting to a 4k tv?

    just wondering if they changed chip sets, firmware, software or something after original production run, I bought mine early October 2015 before any reviews were out or maybe the original press release was wrong
