Adaptive refreshrate monitor feature suggestion: 4k video resampling method

Hi all, not sure what to do with this idea but maybe someone here can help.

I just finished watching the Mass Effect promo (4k youtube stream) on my 1080p 144Hz gsync monitor. Obviously, I wasn't getting the full experience by down-sampling the 4k stream to 1080p and displaying it at (effectively) 30 fps. This is because the monitor tech/drivers are wasting 3/4 of the information in the stream.

Instead, why not display the video at 120 Hz where each frame displays one of the four 4k pixel values contained within each 1080p pixel? (1234)(1234)(1234), etc... 30 times per second. This procedure should apply a temporal-based anti-aliasing effect in rendered streams, as well as providing slightly smoother motion.

Anything wrong with this idea? Would love input.
