A fun series. Calling it HDX is a stretch ( so to speak)

I have this on VUDU and the quality isn't great. There are also editing errors in some episodes where you randomly get a few seconds of a different episode. I've only noticed this a couple of times but just calling it out.

I'd love a future where AI can upscale SD to 4K and above.

Blu-Ray like? It's only $20 that's almost the cost of a single fast food meal deal.

Bluray has always been far superior to any streaming format because they lower the size/bitrate for streams so slower or limited data internet plans can watch it (There are 128gb size bluray disc, imagine streaming that ammount in 2-3hr)

This is HDX which says is 1080p like bluray but they are not close to the same quality BUT many might be satisfied despite the more compression done.

The real question is wether this is just an upscaled sd or a downscaled bluray rip

I was just thinking about this series because I noticed that Meethos played in Caprica. As it turns out there was a Meethos animated web series. It's available on Youtubr.

It is an upscale actually. And they cropped it so it's an upscale of only like 360 lines so it looks really low resolution. Then on top of that they denoised it so it looks very smeary especially during motion. Frankly it looks terrible.

I watched the first season back when they had the uncropped SD version and it was free with ads. The show itself holds up better than I thought it would but then they switched to the cropped HD version so I didn't watch the rest.

A few years ago there was a preview for a blu ray set that is uncropped (but still an upscale) and it looked much better. But it was supposed to release that year or something and it's been crickets ever since.

iTunes still has the uncropped version in SD and I've been tempted to buy it the couple times it went on sale there. I'm worried they'll either change it to the unwatchabley cropped version and I'll be stuck with that crap or they'll get the rights to the Blu-ray version and I'll need to buy it again for the HD stream.
