Just a quick one to make sure: is all upscaling performed by the TV's hardware when running the Kodi app on a Philips Android TV (with Surface ticked on, as it is by default)?
Or is only the 1080p -> UHD upscale done by the TV? In other words, how is for example 720p -> UHD upscale performed - 100% by the TV? Or first by Kodi from 720p -> 1080p and ONLY THEN from 1080p -> UHD by the TV?
(On a side note, being "stuck" at 1080p@60Hz with no frame rate switching is surprisingly a non-issue. I'm sensitive to jerkiness/judder but the Philips 804/854 appears to handle motion very well at all frame rates when Clear Motion is on. I've tested with all frame rates and the interpolation/pulldown works great without flickering or SOE. I used to mess with HTPC/Kodi/DSPlayer/madvr for quite a while and after that it's a resolute "no thanks" from me to external boxes and tweaking).
