My biggest complaint with Live Action Trek vs the two Animation shows is that they seem obsessed with giving us a black ship on a black background. It’s nice to be given a reprieve, even if for only one episode.

You guys have hdr?
And here I am on a 1080p plasma screen from 2011. Because it just will not die! Which, is a good thing I guess.
Yeah we only got 4k tvs when the 1080p one from. 2008 died a few years back, well it's not dead, it's in my office as the crappy spare with a giant smudge at the top. Still usable but ugly. And a line.
But I love the oled 4k TV it cost less than the 1080 did originally.
Yeah man I’ve got one of those old school polarity based 3D tv’s from like 2008 but I will never get rid of this thing I love it
Yep, this one is also 3D but the active kind. I've not used it in years, the glasses probably need new batteries.
It's not even HDR. I'm a TNG fanboy, and one of the reasons is just because the show is bright. The ship sets are bright, etc. Even VOY and DS9 don't get this quality, and while SNW is probably the best, new Trek gets nowhere close.
Oh man. I work in the post industry professionally - on the documentary side, but honestly 10bit HDR (HDR10) and 12bit (Dolby Vision) are the REAL technological leaps in quality NOT 4K/UHD.
Sure resolution is nice and all, but if you have a capatible TV, we can literally force change your local settings to optimize what we want you to see (people ever notice Dolby Vision settings turn on and grey out your own settings). Being able to change your TV's color settings natively directly to what we wanted out of the box in post is by far the biggest tech advancement in post to home video in decades. UHD is 4x the pixels but HDR is up to 16 billion more colors. Trust me, it's worth the upgrade.
It's been standard on TVs for years now?
I only change TVs when they die. Mine is 12 years old.
Yeah, I'm not sure who's going out buying a new TV every couple of years.
If say I've upgraded at least every five years since having my own place and a living room to put it in. I do do a lot of gaming though so having all the latest features are important to me. That being said my parents seem to upgrade theirs as often now.
Christ, that's ancient in TV terms. Is it even 4k?
Buddy, it’s worse than that. My TV has a fluorescent backlight. Been planning to upgrade as soon as they stop infesting TVs with adware and spyware.
So never, I guess.
Easily solved by just not plugging the TV into the internet. Put together your own media streaming box and bypass their garbage.
Lol, my tv is a 40" from 2008.
Even my boomer parents are rocking a more up to date TV than that, lol.
