I am mistaken, I've always been under the impression that upscaling 1080p content to 4k yields better results than upscaling 1440p content. 

Maybe you're right. It just seems odd to me that most people are talking about upscaled 4k because it's unlikely the PS4Neo will be able to do 4k native. But no one seems to be considering the native resolution could be 1440p.

Whatever the case, the Neo will support 4k output. Now if you are connected to a 4k TV there will be upscaling happenning somewhere. The TV either upscales the content it gets to its native resolution or the console upscales it's native render to match it's output resolution. 

Chances are that the console will do a much better job at upscaling than the TV. 

Then there is the little fact that (unless the person is crazy) the Neo (even if it had 5TF GPU) cannot handle native 4k games. So whatever we are getting in 4k is going to be upscaled from some lower native render. Be it 1080p, 1440p or 1800p.

My money on Neo games is that they are run at a 1440p native render, down samples to 1080p and then upscaled to 4k for output.
