Seems overly waxy to me, honestly. But that very well could be due to the excessive DNR applied to the source you’re working from…

I agree. The sharpening is very impressive in some areas, but the face has lost all its texture. I checked the D+ stream, and it looks to me to be an effect of the AI sharpening/DNR. It might also be, that the increased sharpness makes the inherent DNR of the source stand out more, because there’s little texture in the face to begin with, while other areas are really sharp now, creating a dissonance between different areas of the frame. Either way the 19SE source looks more natural to my eyes.
