Best LG TVs for upscaling quality

#1

DVDs, lower-resolution TV channels and HD streams are handled with impressively natural detail, although optional sharpening can become aggressive.

#2

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.

#3

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

#4

DVDs and 1080p sources are enlarged cleanly, avoiding obvious jagged edges and harsh sharpening.

#5

High-definition material scales smoothly to 4K, preserving clean edges without noticeable jagged stair-stepping.

#6

DVDs and HD streams gain clear, natural-looking detail without aggressive edge sharpening.

#7

Lower-resolution DVDs and older streams gain clarity without conspicuous over-sharpening.

#8

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.

#9

The processor keeps most 720p and 1080p material sharp and watchable, with readable text and stable motion. Particularly low-quality or noisy sources expose its limits.

#10

HD streams and online videos become sharper and more colorful, though processed low-resolution content still cannot match native 4K.

#11

HD material can upscale cleanly with smooth edges, but DVDs and other low-resolution material remain noticeably soft. Source quality makes a major difference.

#12

The scaling picture is mixed: some HD material looks clean and detailed, but technical tests find soft edges and text.
