Two blockers for 4K output:
1. No manufacturers make generic 18Gbps TX ICs - current 18Gbps transmitters are integrated as part of ASICs
2. Cost of FPGAs that can transmit data fast enough are still $200+ parts
That said there are a number of 4K TVs that can cleanly 2x scale 1080p to 2160p. Some 2017 models include the Sony X900E, and LG's OLEDs.
