I've tried searching and didn't get quite the answer I was looking for so I apologize if this is already covered somewhere..

I have a 16 channel Q-See NVR 8816 (Dahua). It supports up to 4K cams. I have 4MP Dahua cams connected and view on a 1080p tv.
Can I use a 4k tv and see the cams at their full 4MP resolution instead of limited 1080p on this tv...?

Cams are 2560 x 1440 and 4K tv's are 3840 x 2160.
 
Thanks for your reply. In the specs it only says, "This system comes with VGA and HDMI video output ports to allow you to connect to a
computer monitor or HD display for viewing purposes. Some models also include a BNC
video port to allow the use of an analog television as a video display."
 
Even if it has 4k output you will not see your full 4mp resolution or 4k (if you buy a 4k camera) unless you are viewing a single camera. The matrix will display the substream.

So on the 4k tv in single cam (screen) mode the full res of the 4mp cam will be displayed..?
