I don't mind lag too much, but since my tv already upscale I don't think there would be much value passing it through X1S.

I'm saying that because reviewers aren't much thrustworthy, unfortunately. The only good way to evaluate before buying is either having a demo or going to the store and play it.

It doesn't make any sense, but we have know for quite some time that IGN is full of crap and DF is basically the only place that does a respectable analysis on the graphical side of things.

Nope I wouldn't want they reviewing PS4Pro 4k mode on a 1080p tv, the most I would accept is they analyzing the improvements it does on a 1080p tv against the PS4 vanilla. But they must be very straight and separate them. And you know it doesn't make sense but you also know that not only there would be critics analyzing the IQ of the movie on the iPad as if it were 4k as there are reviewers that review a game by watching YT gameplay.

Not allowed in company to see YT =[

My TV can upscale to 4k anything as well, 65X850C from Sony, and it is said to be quite competent at it, dunno how much it fairs against X1S on upscalling side, but wouldn't passing through the system make the biggest issue (which is the lag) even bigger

Your TV, any TV, will add lag upconverting a 1080p signal to 4K anyways. If anything, its better done at the hardware level letting the display simply display a native 4K input with no processing to do on its own.

If your TV is in Game mode, the signal coming into it will be recognized as Native 4K from the XBO S and will operate with minimal lag added by the display.

I played MGSV (PS4) upscaled thru the XBO S and it played just fine.  Lag to me is a complete disconnect from my inputs, like how Remote Play has lag. Feels nothing like that. That said i'm not encouraging E-ports players to start upconverting their PS4 CoD thru an XBO. 

And why you use MGS V on PS4 upscaled thru X1S instead of just playing MGS V on X1S?

I find it hard to believe that upscaling on the TV would be worse than passing it over X1 for upscale, is there evidence of it?

Any TV (and X1) will add lag, but the image quality will differ depending of the upscaler (lag too), and 65X855C have a very good IQ on upscaling or so I heard still have to compare the same material upscaled or native.

And I find it even harder to believe that it would be better to play on PS4Pro on lite mode and upscale with X1S than to use checkerboard solution and no upscale at all.
