FFplay part of ffmpeg does it
It is command line

ffplay -x width of your screen in pixels -y height of your screen in pixels "full path of your  file"

It plays at original size if you do not change to your screen size, and your screen shows only part of the video.

you need to first get to your folder containing ffplay in command prompt using cd commands

I downloaded the 4k video and it plays fine on my laptop in MPC and MPC-HC. My laptop is an i3 and plays at full frame speed with MPC, but a little slower with MPC-HC.

I tried playing it on my Samsung 1080p tv via usb thumbdrive, unfortunately it complains about invalid resolution. It still looks good when I resized it down to 1080p however...........
