stormdogI'm trying to figure out if there are TVs that let you turn off upscaling completely. This would mean that, if you are watching a SD source on a 1080 TV, you'd have black bars around the edges. Similarly with a 1080 source on a 4K TV. Most people talking about these things online seem to think that that's such a ridiculous thing that nobody would ever want that. For instance I found a discussion where one person described this outcome and said "I'm going to take a wild guess that's not what you want."
That is actually *exactly* what I want. I'd like an option to just turn off upscaling entirely and see video that is fidelitous to the source resolution. I wouldn't use it all the time, but I think it would be a really nice option, and really simple to add!
And this is reminding me of how often it happens with me and hardware. I'll want my hardware, whether it's a bicycle or a TV, or whatever, to do have some particular thing that seems like it should be an obvious feature to make available in the marketplace, but it's either not available or only available at great expense and most people can't comprehend why you'd want such a thing.
