Personaly I do not use additional processing (sharpening) at all. I use NGU AA for SD and Standard for 720p. And very satisfied. For 1080 -> 2160 I would like to use NGU Sharp. I did this for the 2160 screen. But my screen is now 1080. For 2160 -> 1080, a sharp algorithm is also enough for me. This is how I watch my favorite movies. madVR gives me an advantage over 1080 blu-ray. For example, Dune 4K old/new, Jaws 4K, Predator 4K, Alien 4K, the Thing 4K, The Hobbit 4K and others. Also Doom 4K and RE2 4K are actualy "upscaled-4k" but look much better. The only time I'm really disappointed is Monster Hunter 4K. The result is too dim even with 100nits. 1080 blu-ray is much better, but maybe it's not madVR's fault, I don't know. |

These are my sharpening presets in case anyone finds them useful. I tuned them so that for example the mid setting would appear subjectively similar "strength" on SD content regardless of algorithm.
Lumasharpen low: 0.65 Lumasharpen mid: 1.30 Lumasharpen high: 1.95 Lumasharpen max: 2.60 Adaptivesharpen low: 0.2 Adaptivesharpen mid: 0.4 Adaptivesharpen high: 0.6 Adaptivesharpen max: 0.8 Customsharpen low (sharpen, crispen, thin, enhance): 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 Customsharpen mid (sharpen, crispen, thin, enhance): 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5 Customsharpen high (sharpen, crispen, thin, enhance): 1.5, 1.5, 1.0, 0.5 Customsharpen max (sharpen, crispen, thin, enhance): 2.0, 2.0, 1.0, 0.5 Antibloat filter: unticked for all Antiringing filter: ticked for all I subjectively prefer Customsharpen low and mid for SD content. The "thin edges" seems good at creating the illusion of higher resolution image, but beware it does change the appearance of fonts quite a bit which is why I cap it at 1.0. I'm also capping "enhance detail" at 0.5 as it enhances compression artefacts, but it is good at creating illusion of detail in textures like wood grain or stone texture in walls, so if you have a clean source you can run it higher. As I said previously I generally don't feel the need to use sharpening for native HD sources so I'm not a sharpening whore or anything. I just subjectively feel SD on a big screen is problematic and needs something extra. A lot of the time the sharpening will be baked into the source by the company that did the mastering and I don't feel those particular shows or movies need anything extra. eg. was watching I'm Alan Partridge S01E01 yesterday and didn't feel it needed any extra sharpening, seems to have sharpening baked into the source already.

When I tried to experiment with downscaling 4k to 1080p (my PJ is native 1080p) I found that limited options for downscaling in compare to upscaling were not producing natural looking SQ at all. I found BD rips played native 1080p better looking than 4k rips downscaled to 1080p.
Was I doing it wrong and it is matter of finding sweet spot of settings or is it expected for it to be as described? Any good settings recommendation for downscaling as described? Also is 4070ti performance with MadVR already known? Would you choose it over 3090 / ti? Thanks |

Bicubic50/Catmull-Rom, scale in linear light checked, activate anti-ringing filter relaxed checked.

You can also set it up in the player instead, playback fullscreen section. Your milage may vary as it depends to a certain extent on what edid blocks are present. This won't work with dvi for example, with that you'd have to do futzing about with the video driver instead defining a custom resolution and even then it might not let you.. but happily, on my display it already had support for it on the hdmi connection. |

Am I right to assume that it is possible to use tone mapping with downscaling at the same time? |

Would 1080p24 be not more correct with 23.976 being more 24p than 23p? Thanks |

No. There is 23.976 video and 24.000 video.

23.976 and 24.000 are two completely different formats that aren't compatible with eachother. If you play back 23.976 at 24.000hz you will have 1 repeated frame every 41.7083 seconds. The vast majority of movies and shows are 23.976 (specifically 24.000/1.001, and yes even this precision matters otherwise if you are off by 0.001hz you will still have a frame skip every 16 minutes and if it happens when the camera happens to be panning it is noticeable). Then there are some European releases of Blurays like eg. those from Studio Canal are 24.000 so you'll need to setup 2 display modes to get them both playing perfectly & this is what I did using Custom Resolution Utility but it is very difficult and needed a very specific settings combination to work and what works for one system won't necessarily work for another.
edit: forgot to mention you can use an Avisynth script to speed up or slow down the frame rate (the audio will get sped up and slowed down to remain in sync) eg. this is for slowing down 25.000 to 23.976: Code:
DirectShowSource("C:\Some 25fps video.mkv") AssumeFPS(24000, 1001, true) # http://avisynth.nl/index.php/FPS#AssumeFPS Last edited by flossy_cake; 27th January 2023 at 17:05. |

Or at least close, since the GPU never does a perfect refresh rate.

Also extremely interesting if true what you guys are saying about refresh rates. Let me rehash it - you claim that 23hz setting in NV CP is not 23hz but in fact 23.976? If so why is not called so? I am asking because I always though (based of name of the option) that 23hz in CP is 23hz refresh rate is what FPS is sent to the display device which gets a flag for 23hz. But you say that NV is actually sending cinematic 23.976 FPS? Are you sure? If I am right than less problems would cause 24hz setting as obviously it is much closer to 23.976 than 23hz. Thanks |

Just look up advanced display settings of Windows 10. I made a screenshot of mine: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lq2...usp=share_link Code:
23 Hz -> 23.976 Hz -> exactly 24/1.001 Hz 24 Hz -> 24.000 Hz -> exactly 24 Hz 25 Hz -> 25.000 Hz -> exactly 25 Hz 29 Hz -> 29.970 Hz -> exactly 30/1.001 Hz 30 Hz -> 30.000 Hz -> exactly 30 Hz 50 Hz -> 50.000 Hz -> exactly 50 Hz 59 Hz -> 59.940 Hz -> exactly 60/1.001 Hz 60 Hz -> 60.000 Hz -> exactly 60 Hz 100 Hz -> 100.000 Hz -> exactly 100 Hz 119 Hz -> 119.880 Hz -> exactly 120/1.001 Hz 120 Hz -> 120.000 Hz -> exactly 120 Hz https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=370505 Just like for frame adaptive deinterlacing - Nobody cares https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=370507 I am so glad to be here Quote:
24 Hz is for 24.000p 23.976 is exactly 24/1.001 just like 29 Hz is 29.970 and exactly 30/1.001 just like 59 Hz is 59.940 and exactly 60/1.001 just like 119 Hz is 119,880 and exactly 120/1.001 Quote:

AssumeFPS changes the video frame rate, optionally changing the audio sample rate to maintain sync. It has nothing to do with the monitor's actual refresh rate. In a way it is similar, except that it assumes the video and audio clocks are perfect while ReClock compensates for the slight inaccuracies of both.

If you have a high refresh rate display (100+ Hz) then madVR's smooth motion is excellent. I use it on my 120 and 144 Hz screens. Smooth motion works even better for me, I don't notice the theoretically softer image even on a 65" screen. Others do say they notice, so try doing some blind testing.
It isn't ideal theoretically, but it is very nice not needing to setup custom refresh rates that still aren't quite perfect and sometimes need to be re-tuned.

I am sure it must be possible to get it right. I just have to try more NV drivers and more fine tuning of settings like pre-render frames etc. I am using GTX 1080 but all I need is tone mapping and chroma upscale and maybe downscaling to native resolution of my PJ (JVC X7900). 0 problems like this with my Pana 820 ... |
