“Just wondering about this? If I play a 4K video on 1080p TV, will it look better than playing 1080p video on the same TV?”

What will happen is that the built-in player in your TV will downconvert the 3840 x 2160-resolution video to a 1080p format your TV can display. Therefore, what you see is 1080p (4K dithered down to 1080p). Whether the 4K video will look better than 1080p video on 1080p TV/Monitor will not only depend on the quality of the originals but also the downconversion process, which takes place inside the monitor/TV – if your tv/monitor has this feature, otherwise by the computer you’re displaying on the tv/monitor. So the downconversion can depend on which video player you’re using, with different results. It can also depend on the type of images being shown, the downconversion could give better results for certain types and worse for other types. So unless you narrow it down to a specific brand of TV/monitor, a specific piece of video shot in both 4k and 1080p and a specific video player you’re using to downconvert, it’s not possible to give a general answer.
