I've always let the user make the final decision. I play the video in the dimensions that it was compressed to run in and below it put a little instruction that always them to either click on the video or hit their spacebar to toggle to full screen. If after doing that, they don't like the performance or quality, they just toggle back. It covers both scenarios and let's the user have the ultimate control over their viewing experience.
