I will be getting a 4K television in the near future. I may also get a new video card for my HTPC that can output 2160p@30hz for watching 4k videos in MP. However, 30hz is not good for watching television, so I would need to switch my display to 1080p@60hz for TV viewing.

I found software which can change my display resolution on the fly, to any preset amount that I choose. I can have it switch back and forth between 2160p@30hz and 1080p@60hz, at any time, by running a command-line utility or with a keystroke. The television set should be able to detect either signal and adjust accordingly.

Here is what I would like to know. If I suddenly change my screen resolution while MediaPortal is running (fullscreen mode), how will Mediaportal respond to that? Would the menus suddenly get twice as big/small? Would it automatically adjust its own size? Would it crash? Would it give me an error or burst into flames? Would it... well you get the idea, I just want to know if this plan of mine would work without any problems.
