    4k vs 1080p playback

    1080p plays fine, 4k files forced to transcode despite what I think should be native support

    I just got myself a 4k disc ripper for Christmas. So I was finally able to get a digital copy of my Super Mario Brothers 4K + Bluray combo. I ripped the 1080p version a while ago, both with makemkv, I then used handbrake to convert to mp4 files. On the 4k file I just increased the max resolution to 4k but everything is the same. The results are pulled from my 1440p monitor, but I am getting similar looking results on my LG oled in the living room, with the same reason for transcoding. What is going on here? Is it a file issue or a client issue or a setting in Jellyfin or something else? I have made sure things are up to date, and rebooted the server. Thanks! 
    Also tried to add a screen shot, can't get it to upload. 4k is washed out compared to 1080p.
