This is not true. If feeding a non-4K TV a 4K signal, then you may be in trouble. But, 4K TVs or projectors with proper HDMI 2.0 and HDCP2.2 (most new displays have this) will accept a standard HDMI signal from standard definition TV, to 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and the newer 4K formats.Is it true an additional item is needed besides a 4K TV, like a 'conversion box' or similar?
If you have a 4K projector, and it is HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant then your A/V receiver ALSO really needs to be the same. Likewise, actually sending 4K video (18Gbs) over HDMI is not all that easy. It is recommended to use a HDMI over fiber cable which is rated to 18Gbs. But, you could hook ANY HDMI device up to most 4K displays and they will work without issue.
