Anyone compared the upscaling of the new nvidia shield vs the apple tv 4k?

Actually being able to visually see differences in upscaling relies on three things first:

- size of the and quality of 4K TV used
- picture processing modes the 4K TV uses
- distance you are actually seated from the 4K TV to be able to even tell the difference in picture quality.

Anyone can sit 1 metre or less from a large 4K screen with AI upscaling turned ON then OFF and go WOW - yes I can see the difference, it’s amazing !
And they should be able to easily tell the difference too because they are comparing AI upscaling to the old crap upscaling the previous 2015/2017 Shields had.

The Shield’s AI upscaling is limited to video playback of 30fps or less and it will not work when viewing Live TV and is not guaranteed to work with all Apps.

Also be very aware the 2019 Shield's Android TV user interface and App icons are 1080p only, so they too have to be upscaled to 4K and consequently will still be blurry - see HERE (click)

The Apple TV 4K that already has high quality picture upscaling has NO limitations at all, due to its more modern GPU, and also uses a 4K user interface. It’s always been known for having great picture output quality.

PS: there are now recently released 4K and 8K TV’s that also do AI upscaling.

This is what my 2019 Panasonic GZ OLED is using for its (AI) upscaling engine:

And Premium 2018 / 2019 Sony 4K HDR TV's that come packaged with Sony's X1 Ultimate Picture Processor can also do AI - Super Resolution picture upscaling of non 4K content:
