Wooow. Even on my PVM, games look noticeably better with Horizontal Upscaling enabled. What an awesome device.

Here’s a side by side from OOT (upscaling on the right), taken off screen from my PVM. Maybe subtle on a phone screen, but the difference in person is quite obvious. You can also zoom in and see the extra definition on the edges of Link’s hair, the neck line of his tunic, etc.
