Using Sony STR-AN1000 for video upscaling?

[JPsDeskSet]

Hi all,

I am considering buying a TCL tv for the first time ever. I am a long time Samsung and Sony panel buyer, and trust Sony to handle video processing better than most others.

However with tight budget, I need to find some alternatives. I am looking at the TCL mini-LED options.

Question for the group is: I understand that the Sony STR-AN1000 receiver might have some video upscaling in itself. If I am pairing the Sony to the TCL and all video signals are going through the STR-AN1000 receiver, will I be enjoying the Sony video upscaling without having to pay the Sony TV prices?

The STR-AN1000 is capable of upscaling content to 4K/8K resolution:

STR-AN1000/TA-AN1000 | Help Guide | Upscaling video signals to 4K/8K (4K/8K Upscaling)

Whether that upscaling is of the same quality as what their TVs are capable of, I don't know.

Thank you so much!!! I think this comment helps and also helped me realize this only does upscaling and not motion or anything else.

Really appreciate it.
