I understand you haven't seen a PS4 but want to talk about it. It's quite common. But there is really no excuse for talking bs about TVs. Any digital TV upscales to its native resolution no matter the input. There is no other way to show content without black bars. Go to Best Buy or Costco or any place they sell TV, they will educate you and demonstrate how it works.

I own a PS4 and a XboxOne.

I understand that you are utterly clueless about about how upscaling in games actually works, what is checkerboard rendering, temporal super resolution, multi-resolution shading/rendering, etc.

What you are talking about is simple pixel doubling / stretching the image I am talking about actual upscaling.

The XboxOne and the PS4 do not support HDMI 2.0 and do not output a 4K signal, a TV can stretch the 1080p signal using pixel doubling but that has nothing to do with the console and it would create pretty terrible aliasing as well as other artifacts.

You may now resume being a clueless condescending troll.
