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

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.
