Are these rendered at 1080p? or 1440p?

Cant help but feel as if its low res or the focus is off - great lighting though!

Its FULLHD In (theory) but upscaled, with Unreal and its upscaler , and this focus is OFF because i just used natural Blur(because the upscaler would make it too Sharp in the Details) , but no DOF atm, because the main DOF would make it way blurry(and i think it have issues with Unreals upscaler) , and i try to find a good Focus Rule ( for now i just took Shoots where i was very Happy with the Light itself) mainly u would focus on special objects etc, , but a Good DOF only will work when the Assets are Real world values in Size.

THANK YOU very much!, still a lot too doo, but i give my best. i want to get Very Realistic "u there" moments.
