Automatically change to a specific resolution when playing in full screen mode

[Neutone]

There are so many things that make VLC great programming. I have an idea for one more that I think a lot of people will come to appreciate as more people get UHD monitors.

I want 3840x2160 resolution when playing video full screen because with a fast enough computer, this provides the best picture quality due to the video filters used to upscale the image. While the some monitors can upscale internally to the native resolution of the screen, I would prefer to have VLC do the upscale. VLC is normally going to upscale smaller resolution video files anyway and a single upscale filter is going to look better than two. (720->1080->2160)<(720->2160)

I want 1920x1080 resolution when I am normally using windows because this provides menu text that's not too small to read. Most programs are not yet written to scale with screen size. I am sure a lot of people use a desktop resolution less than the native monitor resolution due to limitations of their eyes.

I imagine this as a check box to enable full screen resolution change with a drop down list of available resolutions supported by the screen. I estimate that this could be as easy as a few hours work to a full refactor of a lot of code not worth the effort. If its a few hours easy, please put this on the requested feature Que.

Thanks

VLC cannot change the resolution of your screen. Use Windows at maximum resolution and change the DPI of your screen.
