Does the Apple TV support 4k TV's?

[iMore Question]

I just got a 4k tv and the sales rep told me that the Apple TV is compatible. But I thought I'd come to the experts to make sure. So does the Apple TV support 4k tv's?

Here is an excerpt from a recent iMore Blog article.:

"Let's get this out of the way: The new Apple TV doesn't support 4K (2160p). Whether it has to do with low adoption, HEVC (H.265), or bandwidth, Apple has chosen not to delve into the next generation resolution standard. At least not yet.

That means both the new and previous generation Apple TVs both max out at 1080p. That doesn't mean there aren't any differences, though..."
