Pixel shifting doesn't "fake" a 4k image, it projects a 4k image from a 1080p dmd. Just like a CRT monitor can produce a 1280×1024 image from a single electron beam. When you activate pixel shifting on a 4k projector while loking at the screen from 1 ft away, you can clearly see each pixel being split and the 1080p image being replaced by a true 4k image.
