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.

It's been standard on TVs for years now?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Even my boomer parents are rocking a more up to date TV than that, lol.
