The 12.9" iPad is 2732 x 2048. Not quite 4K but it does benefit from higher than 1080p resolution. Netflix streams up to 1440p to this iPad. I believe iTunes downloads/streams are limited to 1080p to this device, though.
One of my test videos was definitely 4K. It was a 4K UHD Blu-ray MKV rip I made myself (straight rip, no re-encoding), shared via SMB server and played back with Infuse Pro. Of course, I expect it does get downsampled to 2732 x 1536 but that's still considerable more detail than 1080p. I was comparing it to the regular Blu-ray rip of the same movie. Avengers: Endgame, sharpness/detail was particularly noticeable on the scenes with Japanese stylized subtitles.
More than the sharpness/detail though, the colors are really what pop out.
