I'm not sure this makes sense; an FHD screen is not physically capable of displaying the detail in a UHD image. Downloading and displaying a downscaled UHD image on your FHD display would simply increase usage of bandwidth, memory, and storage space for no visual benefit.

In theory you're right, but I don't know what resizing algorithm they are using, but the difference is abysmal. I have uploaded a screenshot so you can see here: https://imgur.com/a/ubUtgT5 . On the left is my desktop, on the right is the 4K image. Hmm, I can indeed see a difference. Fushan, do you know whether this is an issue on our side, or Bing's? Setting to confirmed, this is a valid thing to consider. |
