If you like what Darbee does, well that is ok, no problem with that, but if you want to see what the director wanted you to see then no.

Blu Ray movies and 4K is already shot at it highest sharpness etc

The disc can not show something that isn't there and darbee is not showing that is already on the disc because it ain't any more details on the disc to show more, so then it is processing the picture and make it so it has more detail than it actually has.

For Netflix and streaming and cable tv it is great.

Hi shield,

Will use this as an example.

Ever put two televisions side by side, have them both calibrated properly and yet see difference in picture quality? Or two Blu-ray players fed into the same set and also see some minute difference?

Both showing what's in the source. Should be no difference. Unless one is built better. That's what the darbee does. I'm watching it right now on a cable broadcast. The "smooth" or "plastic" effect on Anthony Newly's face is eliminated. One sees more pebbles in the stones. The picture overall is sharper. Yet there is no harshness increase - which would accompany an oversaturation of sharpness. And as an experiment, just turned darbee off and increased sharpness on the set. Picture became harsh with no more hidden objects unmasked.

And some colors are more vibrant while others are left alone. It's not an across-the-board increase.

It's an additional processing stage that is included in more expensive oppo players. But this works with cable too.
