I couldn't agree with you more. I see a common mentality with the developers of the V6 and Sky Q 2TB boxes, in that 4K is what matters. They don't care about SD even though many people still watch broadcasts and DVDs in this definition, and won't allow users to make choices. For example, the V6 will always upscale 576i unless you choose a video setting of only 576, quite ridiculous when most of us have TVs with higher native resolutions and, won't you believe it, some of us just want 576i to be passed through to our TV.
And don't even get me started on the V6 being the first TV box to be without a SCART socket.
Perhaps, but as this is a VM forum, I was referring to VM's boxes.
I used the SCART sockets of my V+ and TiVo boxes to connect to my DVD recorder and VCR. I still have VHS tapes...
...so just got my Samsung 4K TV over the weekend - what are everybody's preferred and best settings for a 4K display (I currently have the V6 set to 2160p and 2160 passthrough and the display looks pretty clear and sharp, with colours all looking nice and natural) ?
