Take a look at My Life in Gaming on Youtube. They have many videos covering the topics of upscaling and getting the best signal and picture out of your old consoles. There is a lot of information about it - too much to post in one reply here.

Yes, TVs have basically dropped composite and component inputs. And if they have them, their interal upscalers are so bad you don't want to use it anyway. Watch the My Life in Gaming content and look up Retrotink. Retrotink probably makes the best upscalers today. They have a few models in different price ranges. They might not be cheap but they are very much worth it and will future proof your old consoles for many years to come.
