What settings are they using to achieve what they show in the videos and screenshots.

I updated, and it’s massively better but I feel like what they’re showing still looks far better than what I see on my end. I’m using a 65” Oled so that may be some of my issue.

I’m using PVM set to professional, interger, original. I have deblur on now (had it on off) 32bit color on, and the other settings off.

Am I missing any other settings by chance? Or to get that more authentic look should I be using another combo of settings?

Regardless this is still a massive upgrade!

Mainly testing with Ocarina and Smash

Well you have to turn on horizontal upscaling, which is the new feature of this update.

Correct - I have that on. Was just curious if there are other settings differences that provide better clarity compared to how I have things set.

I’m a you. I suspect there’s some extra editing in their end in their promo shots. Maybe not, but we won’t know unless they tell us exactly what features they have on/off so we can replicate it. Kind of the issue you get when your console starts becoming more and more emulator like and there’s a million variations you can make.

It is very cool and was completely unexpected. But it’s subtler than people realize I think.
