I have an app on my Phone to watch TV and downloaded movies etc. They all tend to be in 720p (I know it's not 1080p but 720 may be wrong). The TV at my parents house is a 4k Samsung one this displays all these programs over the full screen. The other TV I use is only a 1080 tv, this will only play these files in a 720 box on the TV.

So can anyone help me find out why this is the situation and what do I need to look for when buying my next TV to make sure it fills the screen?

Am I correct in thinking the 4k TV up scales everything to fill the screen and other one doesn't?
 
Checked this and for some reason these options are unelectable when screen mirroring from my galaxy s6.

I am thinking the 'upscaling' 4k tvs do is what I am after... This be great when I come to get a TV for the living room but for my bed room I can't be having a 40' tv.
 
Yes this is screen mirroring over wifi. I can't find the model info of the 1080 tv until tmoz but it is fairly new... Less than 4 years old I think.
 
When exactly was the lollipop release? I auto update my phone so it could be that if it was a long time ago. 1st time I checked my phone on the 1080 tv was mid season 10 of supernatural. Possibly October 2015. And I wasn't working then. It has worked since I discovered it on the 4k tv which I think was about April 2015.
