    I am really temped to buy the Toshiba 4K (it just about to hit the stores here), but the lack of MS Windows scaling, or bad job it does (really not entirely MS own fault), is putting me off. Might be one big ugly mess, and scaling to native res would be unreadable.

    Not sure how running low res on screen for games would look either, could end up bit of pixelated mess?

    scaling problem is really the fault of software makers (MS/Adobe/Whatever) not catching up to the hardware progress, and people often complain 4K is bad due to scaling problem.
    4K is great thing, it is the software makers who needs to do the catch up, and if more people owns 4K devices, those makers will begin to fix those scaling issue.
    Anyway, here is something addressing scaling issue:

    It seems win8.1 has all the scaling advantage..
