Nicholas Meyer Confirms Upcoming 4K UHD Release Plans for STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN

Got it. The Xbox would then be upscaling the blu-ray from 1080p to 2160p, not downscaling. How does it look if you set it to output blu-ray at 1080p, and then let the TV upscale it?

I meant the Xbox was downscaling the signal, sloppy wording on my part. It looks like a Blu-ray, doesn't look terrible.

Just noticed, Kirk and McCoy are not very gallant!
Khan strings up5 people that we see. March and Madison -- the black and asian guys who have lines-- an older guy with mustache, an older guy with gray hair that McCoy bumped into first and a blonde girl with Princess Leia type hair buns. They cut her down last!
And they weren't cutting them down in order! They did 3 guys to her left and then skipped her and cut the guy to her right BEFORE they cut her down. LOL. No "ladies first" in the 23rd century I guess.
Also in the theatrical version of the Regula argument there are two people who are not seen again -- another black dude with mustache and an additional younger white guy. Maybe they found a really good hiding spot or Khan killed them elsewhere.

Most HDTVs are better at upscaling than any Blu-Ray player would be. I'm sure this also extends to 4K/UHD.

A Blu-ray player designed specifically to play Blu-rays and upscale DVDs will beat a HDTV any day of the week.

^ No, actually, it won't.

Upscaling DVD/BR players are a marketing gimmick, nothing more. All HDTVs upscale, and they are always better at it.
