You should be using photographs or movies.
Something that was filmed instead of rendered.

View the comparison images here at 100% in your browser and switch tabs.
The image scaled in linear light should look very close to the source, only lower resolution.
The image without linear light scaling is quite a bit darker than the source image, and finer details are lost.

What is the point of this nearest neighbor upscaling?
It introduces tons of aliasing.
It would be better if the source's resolution would be high enough to have a realistic result in a common native resolution.
