Upscaling from 1080p sucks! It's blurry as all heck compared to letting the TV do the job. The only scaling modes that perform at full framerate are the bottom two, the "better" upscaling modes seem to top out at 15-16fps performance, which as you can imagine isn't exactly acceptable.
What I wish... is that XBMC would simply start allowing resolution switching based on video resolution. There may not have been much reason for that before, but it's otherwise a huge pain to have to manually change to 4k to watch a 4k video, and then go back to 1080p for everything else.
How did 4K video's play and look since they don't require any upscaling?
Your HP Chromebox is single channel DDR3. It's possible one might get slightly better results on an Asus model with dual channel memory installed.
