No no no.  Upscailed just means it fills up the whole screen.  That is it.

No no. That's not "Just it".
Upscaling does additional post processing and uses algorithims so it's not merely just a stretching of an image, otherwise the image would look truly crap.

Well of course it isn't exactly stretching it, but at most it just fills it in with missing pixels with guesswork which can result in some serious artifacts.  It is just converting it to a bigger pixel count, but not re-rendering anything...
