Nice

I think it’s simple and I like that, and the upscaling for the free one is good.

Pure Gem

So far no complaints works wonderfully

Doesn’t seem to upscale, just stretches

Literally just stretches to the specified resolution. I put them side by side and saw no changes at all.
BBrad_IlI

Doesn’t actually improve quality

Videos I’ve upscaled to 4K still look bad, low resolution and blurry. Please update your upscaling algorithm

Does the trick!

This does exactly what it says it does, and it does it well.
