1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, at a first type of viewing device, encoded video content from a server machine;
performing at least one decoding operation on the encoded video content to generate re-constructed video content, wherein the re-constructed video content is associated with an absolute quality score that is calculated based on both the first type of viewing device and a quality of source video content from which the encoded video content is derived; and
displaying at least one frame of the re-constructed video content on the first type of viewing device.
