Video output settings for 4K tv - which are best?

I have a lovely new LG OLED 55B7V. It's absolutely stunning, I have to say.

However, I am not sure what to do when it comes to the V6 video output settings.

I have my V6 connected to an Onkyo TX-L50 amp via HDMI, which in turn is connected to the ARC HMDI input of the LG (so I can get 4K HDR through the TV's Amazon Prime Video app and play the sound through my amplifier).

The V6 has now automatically set the video output to 2160. I think this means the V6 box will upscale everything to 4K?

However, I note that I have the option of manually selecting the other video output formats (i.e. 2160, 2160 pass through, 1080 p etc. etc.).

Should I do this and let the TV handle the signal? Or should I leave it with the V6 doing everything? I'm not really sure which (if either) is best.

My amp also has the option to upscale output to 4K. I guess if I am going to let the TV handle the pictures, then I should probably make sure that the amp isn't upscaling either.

Any thoughts/advice would be gratefully appreciated.
