Hi @chenks76
You aren't coming off very well here 😞
And I don't think you know what casting is, and that is at the root of the problem.
When you cast, the device you are casting from originates the material, and the device you are casting to displays it passively, whether or not it possesses the application you are casting from.
Well, that is true of Miracast casting at least.
Chromecasting, however, is different, and that does work the way you describe; the Chromecasting device gives the Chromecast on the TV - possibly a physical device, but more probably the built-in Chromecast functionality on one of these Android TVs - something of a clue as to what it wants, and the Chromecast in/on the TV fires up the App on the TV - if it is Chromecast-compatible, as YouTube certainly is - and displays it,
These Sony TVs, though, support both Miracasting and Chromecasting; and since you have not specified which you are using, this is the cause of the ambiguity and doubt here.
So it would greatly help if you could specify which, instead of profaning people who are only trying to help you 😞
Having clarified it thus far, though, we are still left with the question of whether either casting method supports 4K, on which I would need to do more research.
Certainly, 4K over a physical Chromecast requires a Chromecast Ultra, and it may well be that the virtual Chromecast built in to these Sony TVs isn't Ultra.
And I'd bet the Miracast isn't either.
We can hope for upgrades here, but I suspect that the HD you are seeing is the best you can cast, by either method, at the moment,
And I hope this posting can bring some light, rather than more heat, to this discussion; let's be civilised, please, as I am sure we are all people of goodwill.
