Here are some ideas on how to improve this page:

  • In addition to full sized example pictures, which have to be clicked to be viewed, how about taking some small parts of these example pictures and displaying them on this wiki page in full size. This way, all the different scalers could be compared more easily by the user, by simply scrolling through this page.
  • Different scalers have different "quality" in different games. Older games tended to use fewer colors and only coarse dithering, while newer games had quite different graphics. So, besides using a Maniac Mansion screenshot (16 color game) for comparison, ideally there would also be a screen shot from a more modern 256 color game, like Monkey Island 2.
  • In addition to these, maybe also use the nice scaler test image found on e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hqx -- and like there, display it in full size, not in a thumbnailed version
