That seems like a gimmick and I actually prefer SDR video that is not upscaled. There is something ugly about those AI treated videos. They look fake.
They are fake. Ultimately it’s not recovering lost detail, it’s making shit up

That's my point -- most people don't actually watch the movie at home. That's why 3D TV failed.
The only time it's a problem is if someone currently experience a migraine is trying to watch, then they can get serious vertigo, but that's an issue caused by the migraine itself (visual auras and vertigo generally).

My parents had a 3D TV. It was a huge problem. You probably don't realize how often you look away from your TV when you're watching your TV.
While watching a movie, look away - maybe. Get up and walk around and do chores - we always pause if needed. I think it's a matter of establishing that to watch a movie, one needs to set aside time and commit to focus just on it, but then it becomes yet another barrier. Different story for TV shows which often are background though.

I don't think that's why. TVs without 3D are just cheaper, the early 3D tech just wasn't very good and took awhile to mature thus souring the market, 3D content was more expensive (or an extra expense, eg. buy the 3D and non-3D versions of a movie) and so people just went for the cheaper options overall. I've had an active 3D TV for 10+ years, and the 3D has not itself been a problem when I've watched with others. Th…
I do that, but I have to wait for everyone to go to bed first and then turn off my cell phone. Most people aren't willing to do that.
I'm curious - what's the best open-source video upscaling library out there? I looked back about a year ago, and it didn't seem like there were any good open-source solutions.
This stuff is sick. If we had a real-time upscaler on a zoom telescope it would be a fantastic tool while traveling. I'd get a kick out of that.
And what would fake detail in the real world give to you?
Speaking of which, Nvidia has built-in live AI upscaling on the Shield TV android box. - Is there any stand-alone live AI upscaling / 'enhance' alternative for android or any other platform?
In fact it's reportedly the currently supported Android device out there with the longest support[0], it's crazy that mine still gets updates.

A bit of a let down that the video demoing SDR->HDR conversion is itself only published in SDR. Makes as much sense as demoing a colorization tool in a grayscale video!
