We got a new 55" 4K TV at my work which surprisingly had a scart and VGA socket. There is also a Dreamcast at my work which used to be connected to a Toshiba HD TV. Until this point I had only ever played a Dreamcast on a CRT and still do at home (32" Sony Trinitron). When I connected the dreamcast to the first Toshiba HD TV I was a little dissapointed with the picture. It really highlight all the flaws and tears. Playing MSR was really hard to see the up coming corners. Fastforward 3 years and when we got the new TV I didnt even bother plugging in the DC as I thought it would of been really bad. It wasn't until I noticed someone else playing crazy taxi that I realised how amazing an upscaler can be. The TV obviously has a decent upscaler built in. It really smooths out the resolution. It looked like it was being played on a PS4.
What ive noticed is that not all games seem to benefit as much as eachother from an upscaler. Crazy taxi seems to be the best example so far that I have come across. What is everyone elses experience? Which games did you fine look amazing upscaled and which not?

Re: Games that look great upscaled
Every Dreamcast game I've played on my Sony 4K via HDMI looks super sharp. But it should be noted: when I first bought my TV, I spent at least a week fine tuning the settings. Not just for games, for apps and cable too. I adjusted color, white balance, black levels, sharpness, motion options, you name it. It was only after all that, and minor tweaks over the following couple of weeks, that I was satisfied with how good everything looked being played and/or watched on my TV.

Re: Games that look great upscaled
I don't understand everyone's desire for upscaling to theoretical high def , it's enhanced def no matter what
I just run VGA to my damn 24" flat-panel PC monitor .. boy I wished we'd kept our CRT PC monitors !

I didn't understand either until I seen it. It makes a MASSIVE different. On games that upscale well it honestly looks amazing. Its hard to believe.mistamontiel wrote:I don't understand everyone's desire for upscaling to theoretical high def , it's enhanced def no matter what
