I don’t know what to make of it. Some of it seems really good, some of it seems pretty bad. The choice of 60fps seems off to me – I guess they needed to IVTC to enhance it, but 24fps or 30fps, or even re-telecining it might feel less weird. Also, I feel I’d have to check to see if they’re using the best sources to begin with, and not overprocessing the image. And 4K is just plain silly for the final output resolution – a complete waste, even if it’s useful for Topaz to upscale to it as an intermediate resolution.

I dunno, I’d say it’s a promising technology showcase, but I’m not rushing to throw out my current copy. TL;DR wait and see.
