I've seen instances of people believing the Pro and X1S are comparable because they're both 'up-scaling to 4k' (this more on reddit than here), but even then it'd be an exaggeration to say they make up the majority of any group. 

On a side note, 1530p is just a rounding of 2x1080p (it's about 0.3% off), which, to the best of my knowledge, is the minimum resolution needed to properly utilize checkerboard 4k. 1800p is 4k's 900p equivalent, which appears to be the standard native target.

As to my knowledge, there is no "1530p" and I doubt we will ever see that resolution in any game.

Yeah, my bad for not explaining that further, of course you can't read my mind in any way.

It's not the actual fact that some people are participating but the way they do so. What I am wondering is why you say that others do that, too - it's a known fact that this is just usual behaviour

As you should know, I always like to participate in technical discussions so I know both sides and know the way they are behaving and posting. I am just the unpleasant person who often calls bullshit when people exaggerate or make false assumptions or talk bullshit in general.

If my post has heated up the discussion, I don't know but I don't really see that, considering how this thread started and seems to come to an end.

You're right we probably won't see games run at a native 1530p (though it wouldn't be the weirdest we've seen this gen :p), but the un-rounded version provides a exact 1:2 scaling of 4k. It's the lowest scaling you can reasonably use to produce a checkboard 4k image (since 2 out ever 4 pixels are filled, hence the checkerbord name), so i wouldn't be surprised to see it used for that on occasion.

While you're totally right that people often have less-than-honest reasons to involve themselves in a discussion, it's ultimately still rooting in an interesting to discuss and participate (far be it sometimes a misguided interested :p). Such posts are going to happen regardless, so it's better to simply address the points made than question motive. You're post didn't cause any problems here, i was just pointing out that it (without the context you offer here) does often lead to drama.

Anyway, i thank you for explaining your post :)
