Well, the device was originally conceived to be a plug and play add on to fix HDCP incompatibilities and guarantee that older displays could be used with new 4k content. It's more of a downscaler than an upscaler.BONKERS wrote:Which is quite funny when they literally all they have to do is the simplest scaling method ever.Fudoh wrote:For 1080p the HDFury Linker is supposed to do a really nice job.

Point sampling.
Draw 9 pixels for each 720p pixel.
Draw 4 pixels for each 1080p pixel.
I mean FFS how hard can it be??

Basically, HDFury made the Linker so John Q Paycheck could plug in his new fancy Tivo without buying a new tv.
In the spirit of the Linker's primary purpose, it would need to upscale and downscale between 4k and 720p.
Given the product's mission statement, I understand why 720p isn't there.
Downscaling native 4k content to look great at 720p would be tricky business.
