Final test; Windwaker.
50% edge enhancement vs 0%. Panned close to Links heads with camera view, in addition to looking at ocean and terrains at distance. Nothing negative I can detect, image simply looks like remastered sd content. No sandpaper effect, no dot effect, no halos at edges.
How can this be? Either we are being lied to about edge enhancements to sell "hd remasters", or perhaps I stumbled across an exceptional circumstance. Maybe my LCD is so shitty it simply can't show "fine details" at any settings, I don't know.
Only real negative effect I found to using TV sharpening on SD GameCube content over composite hookups is in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection where Mega Man 2 has some flickering background. This is present even if sharpening is off but becomes distinguished if you sharpen. This is literally the only downside I have found. And I think it is tolerable compared to fuzzy Mega man.
A bit of logic for you, why do all of these enhancement settings even continue to exist when common wisdom from the audio visual people say to switch them all off. If they were so bad why would they continue to include them in televisions. Could it be that there is an entire industry that relies on content not being enhanced so that they get to sell you more old rope for new money?
Why does it cost $300 to $500 to have a professional calibrate your television? There is clearly money involved here. It calls into question all advice I have ever seen about self calibration.

Retro World Xpo stopped being fun for me when all the super nerds with their mail order brides/escorts/gold digger (What else would an asian women waaay too hot for a pasty faced geek be?) took over.
None of the free arcade games or pinball machines ever work, and panels are either boring stuff you can see on Youtube or sales pitches for physical games.

They are terrible at their job.
Come on man, you gotta have fun with it! When they say "**** you" I would have joked "YOU MUST HAVE ME CONFUSED WITH A 3 YEAR OLD CHILD! What do you expect from a delusional Frankenstein beast"
And then after they finish stomping my face into the pavement I'd be like Jerry Lawler on the Gurney after Bret Hard kicked his ass with the victory sign, saying though a wired jaw "Haha does not hurt ya pansies".
I'd probably be dead within a year tbh, but true artists must suffer.
