Could you give an example of a TV show that blew you away when processed with Nvidia Shield's upscaling? I tried the feature while streaming HBO's Sopranos, going from 1080p to 4k and it didn't look any better to me, just slightly different with occasional artifacts. I didn't understand the hype around this feature.
I believe how good your TV's native upscaling will also be a factor in how improved the Shield's implementation looks.
- thawkth 4y agoI can: Star Trek DS9 (DVD rips). I actually had forgotten the Shield was supposed to be doing AI upscaling since a lot of what I watched for a while was current. I was midway through the series when I traveled somewhere else and used a Roku on a different TV - and it was instantly noticeable. When I got home, I plugged in a Chromecast Google TV to my TV (LG OLED) and watched parts of an episode. The Shield TV made DS9 look significantly better.
- freedomben 4y agoThis happened to me with TNG! I was blown away by the picture quality. That's not something my wife usually notices, but even she commented about how good it looked. I later watched it on a different device and the quality was noticeably worse.
- smcleod 4y agoTNG did have a massive amount of time put into remastering it though, DS9 sadly has not.
- robobub 4y agoOthers agree with you: > The Shield upscaler works, but if you have an eye for quality it is terrible. The sharpening it uses leaves a very noticeable sharpening ring around edges, most noticeable on animated content. It will also cause weird artifacts to pop up on live action content. https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/11e7e2h/rtx_video_super_resolution_faq/jacx0qa/?context=1 https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/11e7e2h/rtx_video_s...
