From the very first frames, you can tell there's something's off about Netflix's AI-powered remastering of "A Different World."

    I don’t see the point of watching upscaled version of an old TV show. It ruins the atmosphere. It’s like playing the NES version of Tetris on an emulator and using HD textures for some reason.

    Also if you’d want to upscale it anyway, why not provide source material and allow customers to use any upscaler they want?

      Because Upscaling is incredibly resource hungry. You can’t do it on a 250€ “smart” TV with the calculation equivalent of a raspberry pi 2.

      And then, sunk cost fallacy goes brrrrr.
