I've yet to encounter a good upscaler but I'm glad you're happy with your setup!

i dunno, I have one of those super high end TVs, so that probably helps a lot too. It handles a lot of content very well. when shopping i did pick a model that was rated well for handing lower res content. some high res dispalys are awful at it

I've got a fairly nice 65" Dolby Vision/HDR10/etc. set with a decent NITS rating. I reckon your scaler is the defining difference. I think I was playing it through an Xbox One X and the results were hideous.
