#2

Clean processing preserves texture when scaling HD sources to the large 4K screen.

#3

Full-HD material upscales cleanly and looks notably better than very low-resolution sources.

#4

HD programs upscale to clean edges without jagged stair-stepping, though lower-quality streams may still show compression.

Full HD material looks clear and sharp, with smooth edges and convincing upscaling rather than an obviously soft image.

#6

HD sources upscale cleanly to the large 4K panel without excessive processing artifacts.

#7

HD broadcasts and other 1080p material upscale with smooth edges and strong deinterlacing, helping older content look clean on the 4K screen.

#8

Full-HD material looks detailed thanks to effective scaling, even if 4K sources still look noticeably crisper.

#9

HD material upscales well with clearer detail, and SDR colors compare favorably with more expensive models in some testing.

Full HD footage looks crisp on the 4K panel, with smooth edges and pleasing detail. The results improve substantially over lower-resolution 480p material.

#11

HD streams upscale with crisper textures and lively contrast, making ordinary HD programming look noticeably better.

#12

HD material can look impressively close to native 4K after upscaling, although much softer sources still expose their age.
