How do you watch low res, say a 160x120 video, or Gameboy emulator on a relatively large screen?
I know a lot of people who prefer to keep it small because, enlarged, it looks blurry.

Personally, I watch them full screen even if it looks blurry.
Generally 1.5-2x size, windowed for really small stuff like GBA.

For larger stuff like PS2 emulation, full screen.  PS2 emulation is sort of different though, because you can actually render at higher resolutions, instead of upsizing.  So if you have a modern GPU, you can like render at 4x and then downsize back to 2x or native resolution, making your stuff look a whole lot better than it actually would on a real PS2.

For videos, unless it's too small (less than 480p lets say), usually full screen.
for pixels stuffs i don't really mind what size, so may be almost full screen.
but as for videos and poo poo i tend to enlarge it to 1/4 of the screen at least.
for 240p vids on youtube, definetly 1:1.

For like GBA/N64, I prefer fullscreen.
If it's a low res video I just enlarge it a bit but never fullscreen.

Same goes for video games too.
Full screen while keeping the aspect ratio.
1:1 or 1.5.
full screen...  nuff said
2x, windowed
thinking about this...
it'd be nice if they had a function to scale pixels for old GBA games n such
like a 1 pixel is now a 5 x 5 pixel area mode.... this would allows us to enjoy our 8 bit graphics without things getting blurry as spoon oo


as far as actual low res I usually don't...
I started torrenting because I hated low res youtube videos and I don't play many old games that have super low resolutions oo
