Anyone own a UHD TV?

4:3 will be upscaled but will still have black bars at the sides, and 1.85:1 will upscale and have black bars top and bottom.

Did he say he didn't want black bars? The impression I got was he wanted to view it as it would have been originally.

If you viewed that file on an old CRT, it would be "upscaled" to fit the screen. How would a UHD tv be any different in 4:3 aspect ratio? To me, thats viewing it in its original format.

Not sure if my tv allows me to zoom out also. If I remember when I get home, I'll check and see.

However 640 x 480 is the old resolution of 90's (and older) tv progs/films as far as i'm aware. So 4:3 is the appropriate viewing ratio for them.

I did not say he did not. I just pointed out the TV will upscale what ever it receives.

Zooming will just enlarge or reduce the upscaled image.

OP seems silent...Possibly a bit of trolling as the request seems a bit far field.

OP seems to want to view the DVD picture pixel for pixel - so a tiny picture in the middle of the screen with black around it. That would involve a 'no scaling' setting on a TV. I've a Sharp FHD TV that has a 'pixel by pixel' setting (no stretching, no overscan, basically), which sounds like what he's after, but on an UHD TV. I've got a Toshiba one, and it doesn't have that.
Sounds like something you'd need a PC for. Connect it at a 4K resolution, play a DVD in VLC, for example, full screen but at original size.

These no scaling options only apply when the input signal matches the panel resolution (so for example a full HD video played on a full HD TV is not scaled in any way and you don't lose any resolution). It will never play a SD video signal at 1:1 leaving a small image in the middle of the screen surrounded by black. SD signals (what you get from DVD) will always be scaled to fit the screen. You won't even see the 1:1 scaling option on HD/UHD TV's when a SD video source is being shown.

Hence al's suggestion (and it was also suggested earlier) to connect up a PC and play the media that way. (Assuming OP owns a PC that will output at 3920x2160).

We've got a UHD telly and deep in the settings I can select a pixel for pixel rendering of the picture for UHD sources. I don't know of this option is there for lower resolution sources but I'll have a look later

It won't be.
