Title: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now

Red Text: This is simply how things are supposed to look

I just calibrated for gaming and left it like that. I'm pretty happy with things the way they are, even if the blacks aren't as deep. Nope, 60Hz @ all resolutions. It's not scaling 1080p to 4K in PC games like it does for consoles, and I think that's the main reason the image quality isn't as nice. I can't seem to get the TV to scale 1080p up to 4K in the same manner through my PC; scaling via GPU or Display produces the same result. Even with AA on max, things look a little off. It's not too dissimilar to using non-native resolutions on most PC monitors, although it's definitely not quite as bad. It could very well be that this is just how 1080p looks for PC games. I might just get a GTX 1080Ti when I replace my aging CPU + mobo and game in glorious 4K. Update: I tried selecting fullscreen display scaling in nVidia control panel and then selecting windowed fullscreen in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at 1080p. No diff. Exclusive Fullscreen switches to 1080p output, and it looks the same as windowed.: . IQ at 4K is obviously going to be superior, and losing half the pixels is going to produce a less crisp image. I don't know what I expected. Mine isn't perfect, either. Perhaps not as bad as that, but I've seen a similar effect. I believe this is pretty common with these sorts of panels, and it's a bit of a lottery to get a perfect unit. It doesn't bother me at all as I don't notice it all in gameplay, or while watching TV / movies.
