The TV reports, on screen, what it is receiving (eg via the HDMI port). That is all it knows. It will then match whatever it receives to its own pixel structure - scaling where necessary.
IF it receives a 1080p signal - that's what it tells you top right.
IF it receives a 2160p signal - that's what it tells you top right. What is important here, though, is that the TV has no idea how that 2160p input came about - it just sees the signal. So it will report the same thing whether the player is producing 2160p natively (from a UHD disc) OR using its own onboard scaler from eg a 1080p BD.
I can't speak for your Denon's activities as regards overlaying a menu.
