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.

      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.

          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.
