Plex PS4 transcoded output is higher quality than Plex on Windows

Using a native remux of Tron (2009) blu ray to test.

 

Plex PS4 at 20mps (max) handles provides and output that is much closer to native. On PHT (Win7, Intel HD4000) the 20mbps output is much more "artifacty".

 

The scene that particularly illustrates this is the first 90 or so seconds where it pans over the water to the kids grandparents house - the sky in the scene varies depending on the quality. I would guess its difference is render engines/drivers..... that or the 20mbps on PS4 is not the same 20mbps on PHT.

 

Has anyone noticed a increased playback quality on the PS4 over a PC playback (in transcoded scenarios)?

Depends on the scaling used.  I know the Linux clients (based on XBMC) are the worst.  Perhaps the PS4 client is allowed to use the internal Sony scaler?
