Best TVs for upscaling quality

#1

Upscaling is one of the S90H’s clearest strengths, making HD and even DVD material look cleaner and more detailed without excessive artificial sharpening.

#2

Upscaling impressed in the detailed test, preserving strong sharpness and texture from lower-resolution Blu-ray material. That is particularly useful for a streaming-focused TV.

#3

HD, 1080p, and even DVD material look cleaner, sharper, and more dimensional than expected. The new processor improves edges and textures without usually making content look artificial.

#4

Older HD and cable sources look cleaner, sharper, and more detailed than expected without excessive artificial sharpening. TCL’s processing now approaches the better upscalers in the category.

#5

DVD and HD material often gains crisp texture and careful detail, especially from cleaner sources. The weakest compressed broadcasts can still expose overprocessing.

#6

Upscaling is among the TV’s strongest processing talents, making SD and HD material look cleaner, sharper and more detailed without excessive artifacts.

#7

Upscaling is generally good, with 1080p and sub-1080p material gaining useful detail and staying watchable. One test calls it merely decent and notes minor artifacts.

#8

Upscaling is among the TV’s strongest processing tricks, making HD and even DVD material look cleaner without obvious over-sharpening.

#9

Upscaling has improved into a genuine TCL strength and can look close to higher-tier models. Results still depend heavily on the quality and bitrate of the original signal.

#10

HD and SDR material is sharpened effectively, producing crisper textures and stronger perceived contrast.

#11

Upscaling is generally a Sony strength and can rescue low-resolution or compressed sources impressively. A few tests found Reality Creation too aggressive on weaker material.

#12

Lower-resolution content can still look respectable on the 27-inch QHD panel. An 800p Steam Deck feed was judged decent rather than obviously poor.

#13

Upscaling is usually good and can make older material look cleaner and sharper, though weak streaming sources still expose processing limits.

#14

Upscaling is mixed. One expert liked the restrained, non-oversharpened processing, while an owner found older low-resolution movies noticeably blurry in backgrounds.

#15

The lack of exposed upscaling adjustments is a drawback for users who want to tune processing themselves.
