I’ve been using mpc with madvr for years, and the upscaling setting for stuff that isn’t 4k.

    Only issue I’ve had with mpv is that everything is darker. I’ve recently gone back to VLC.

      VLC is actually known to have problems with colors so you are probably just used to them being wrong.

          There is a notice on this wiki that contains some comparisons: https://thewiki.moe/guides/playback/

          I’m sure you can find some more in-depth explanations but I will just copy/paste a quote I have seen from reddit.

          • uses wrong matrix for RGB conversion (results in wrong colors)
          • uses point upscaling for chroma planes
          • introduces strong banding
          • wrong chroma location (MPEG-1 for everything)
          • Old subtitle renderer that in more Typesetting heavy situation will say fuck you
          • all the other bugs (including some that haven’t been fixed in years) make it equally unsuitable media player.
