CVar to change LOD switching distance?

Since the introduction of new WoD character models, Blizzard has enabled different LOD (Level-of-Detail) models that switch to low LOD when the camera moves farther away.

When playing on my old hardware, I really appreciated this as it saved a lot of resources and was barely noticeable. But I just switched to a new computer and a 1440p monitor, and now I can't stop noticing my tauren model switching whenever I zoom out:

Low LOD, zoomed out: http://i.imgur.com/wrX4B3U.jpg

Is there any CVar or setting to increase the distance of LOD switching in game, or disable it entirely?

These are the only CVars I can find in the config files that relate to LoD distances. There are also raid override variants by prefixing them with "RAID".
Code:
SET terrainLodDist "650"
SET wmoLodDist "550"
Terrain is self-explanatory and WMO are environment models.
