Start with a 4K screen. Play a 4K video in VLC. Keep it in windowed mode but make it as big as you possibly can on your screen. Fire up the same video but at 1080p quality. Force that window to be 1920 x 1080 in size. There will be some overlap of the windows, but you can look at the non-overlapped parts and directly compare the video. You can also alt-tab back and forth. Not perfect, but it should give you a pretty good idea. Others - feel free to chime in if this is a good idea or not. I think that so long as the 1080p window is locked in at 1920 x 1080 then it won't be up-scaled.

Careful Nintendo. If backing up a game I purchased and playing it any way I want is stealing, then I might as well skip the first step.

I think he's right behind DeSantis in many ways. Right on his heels...

That's a good work around. You can also right click and "open in private window" and it will work just fine.
