How To Play "4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray" Discs?
This feels like a really stupid question since I used to consider myself an expert on home theater, but how exactly can I play my "4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray" of 'Terminator 2 Judgement Day' on my 4K TV?

When I look online I get 100 different conflicting answers. (not surprising)
Both my 2018 Blu-Ray player and my Blu-Ray burner through my PC both have the same response. "Unknown disc."
One answer which keeps coming up is that a 4K Blu-Ray player is needed but I thought these were intended for optimizing Blu Rays on 4K TVs.

Check the specs on your Blu-Ray players to see if they can handle the disc.

You need an Ultra HD BD player. It's not just for "optimization".

Do I need a new Blu-ray player for Ultra HD Blu-ray discs?
Yes, you need a new player, as standard Blu-ray players can’t handle the new discs. Fortunately, Ultra HD Blu-ray players will play just about any disc you throw at them, including all your existing DVDs, Blu-rays, and any old CDs you’ve got lying around.

Sorry for my late response, I was gone for the weekend.
Yes, it looks like I'll need an new player or game console. I question how much better the picture could be on the same TV.
FYI, the 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' Blu Ray looks amazing on its own. There's one brief second when children are playing directly in sunlight which results in digital distortion but I suspect this is due to the way the digital processing of the film was done and not the TV's fault.
Blu-Rays are often hit or miss. Many times they're just the DVD upscaled with the color saturation boosted 500% and a blur filter added to reduce pixelization.
