    1080, kiddac skins. Would go 2160 if it were possible ?

    I have a 4k tv, but for some reason I don't understand if you choose a 2160 resolution on image install, menus and skins look terrible, appreciate there are no 4k skins afaik.

    Hi BobbyC,
    I use Magic-HD Night also on 4K TVs and it does not look terrible at all.

    I'm using the standard vix-night-hd skin. It's the one that I can see the best on my bedroom Tv as the fonts are bigger (smaller TV and further away!).

    Simple 1080 has bigger fonts than ViX-Night... Probably bigger than any other skin in the repo.

    Blue-HD on an 'HD Ready' TV. It was the first skin I found that worked well enough. It's a struggle on some of the detailed menus - highlighted text can be difficult to read - but it looks pretty and is generally more than OK.

    Interesting, I just switched to 2160 mode there and applied magic-fhd , fonts are slightly blurry for me

    Fonts are perfect under 1080 mode, just not great when in 4k
