Just work down through the settings options until you find the highest option that your TV is able to display.

Most sources will briefly show an image designed to test if your TV can support the settings you've chosen, and if this image doesn't appear then you can safely assume your set can't support it. If you're a little confused as to what your television can support, then we'd suggest picking the highest option available and simply seeing what happens. If you're streaming 4K content online, it will also usually simply downgrade the quality to whatever your television set can output.

The best way of checking this is to hop into your set-top box, Blu-ray player or games console's display settings to establish exactly what they're outputting. Ideally, you're looking for them to output at 2160p (ie 4K), but many Full HD boxes won't be capable of this. You can manually intervene though if your combination results in some odd behaviour. Source components and Blu-ray players usually have a variety of display options, but will typically manage themselves depending on the display they're partnered with - thanks to the EDID (Extended display identification data) info they encounter. Owners of older Panasonic TVs may still have a DisplayPort connection, which is used for connecting PCs and can deliver equally high-quality signals. We've probably all witnessed someone watching a Sky+ HD box through the SCART connection at some point over the years (hint, you're not going to get HD that way).īy and large, the only connection you should be using is HDMI, unless there's an overriding reason to opt for a legacy interface. Of course, once you have your kit, it's imperative that you use the right connections. However, if you really want to invest in 4K content then you should consider one of the best TV streaming services, like Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video or Disney Plus, which have a huge amount of 4K HDR content available.

The amount of broadcast 4K content is currently minimal, but the world of gaming is storming ahead with 4K thanks to next-gen consoles like the Xbox Series X. There are now also plenty of 4K streaming devices like the Apple TV 4K and Amazon Fire TV Cube.
