Yes and sadly while the native resolution of my 4k tv is 1080p it looks very badly stretched out and the same is true when I force it to run at 4k though everything is tiny as fuck to boot. As such I run the tv at 1680 x 1050 which I have to admit is still very slightly stretched vertically but only if I'm being a nit picking faggot about it. It's almost imperceptible and vlc plays the movies perfectly at that resolution anyway. Even at 1680 x 1050 though there's an absurd difference in the picture quality between 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080p. There's no real noticeable difference in 2160p even when running at 4k though but I imagine there would be on an 8k tv so I make sure to pirate everything in the highest quality I can in case I upgrade my tv in the future.

If the native res is 1080p, then they sold you a 1080p TV with upscale which will be shit. Also, likely ripped off. 4K and good FPS is too early.

My first so called 1080p tv was just an upscaled 1024 x 768 tv making this one a huge improvement. Don't get me wrong I'm pissed at the scaling issues which amount to outright lies but short of taking my pc into the shops and testing shit out on every screen for 20 mins or so how am I to know which one legitimately gives me all the pixels I'm paying for?

Also for what it's worth I paid just under $330 dollaroos to have this 40 inch 4k tv delivered to my door so considering how much of an upgrade it is and the price I paid I'm pretty happy with it all the same. I also know that it can in fact go to a legit 4k resolution as I can force the video output on my computer to that resolution but being a cheap piece of shit it drops the framerate down to 25/sec so with it looking better and running at 60 fps I keep it at 1680 x 1050. I just know from booting the pc that it says 1080p is native is all.
