Nothing to do with Amazon code. Netflix on my ten inch lenovo looked crap also.
If you use MX player, you can force HW or SW decoding. Software takes more cpu but looks exactly the same to my eyes
In your post you seem to want to have it both ways, you blame amazon for doing it badly, praise Apple for doing it well.only one of the two is managing the task.
We could Google Android upscaling ?

Whatever dude! You seem to be too stubborn to accept the facts, so enough. And BTW, VGA is 640x480 not 70x480. Sorry if my Apple hardware poops all over your cheap Fire/Android hardware, but I got what I paid for. I'd rather pay a lot for something I can enjoy for many years than throw away $100 on a cheap tablet with weak specs. If you buy a good Android tablet (about what my iOS devices cost) then you will have top quality too. But yes, Amazon sucks at FW and SW, if you cannot see that then you need to pull the blinders off of your eyes.
