I just meant someone could uprez an old 1080p transfer themselves ;-) Hopefully there’s a bit more going on with these releases, extra pixels aren’t everything… but I’m one of the folks that believes it should be a new scan, not just some fancy uprezing algorithm.
My parents always warned me that sitting to close to the TV would rot my brain :-)

4k releases aren’t up-resolutioned 1080p. They are new transfers from the film print. That’s the entire point of 4k Blu-ray releases!

Yeah… not always. Especially older stuff that would need to be rescanned from film.

You are right. There’s even a website that lists them:
