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.

    Tons of people don’t have HDR yet. It takes a while for tech to spread, especially when it’s not something many people are gunna go replace a several hundred dollar device for, nor is it necessarily a selling point when shopping for new TVs.

    I thought my 4k smart tv was new enough to have it by default since I bought it in 2019, but it doesn’t.

      Really, I’m on my second HDR enabled screen now and that was from 2020, the previous one dated back to 2016 and had it.

            Just checked - dust and warm plastic. I guess if I was watching Toy Story 2 or 3 it would be appropriate.

          Mine’s from 2010. It’s got colours but I’m not sure they’re quite right, and it’s got some sounds (music and explosions), but is lacking in others (dialogue).

        Yes, really.

        Maybe you are spending more than I am on your TVs, but even after it became more common it still wasn’t standard apparently. It wasn’t something I looked for or knew to look for, being one of those things that isn’t really a selling point for most people and all.

        The only reason I even know mine doesn’t have it is video games, I just found out a few months back, and frankly I just set the gama high within the game and call it good. Been doing that for many many years. The whites are more blinding than they used to be but that’s about it. Frankly I assumed the problem was with the backlighting.

        I just assumed the media issue was, in fact, a media issue (which it -abso-fucking-lutely is-! If you need a special [even if common] TV device format to correct for your shit production quality by default, ya dun fucked up your production, that’s on you, not the people watching it) and went about my day oblivious as always. :)

          How is using all the top level technology available to the visual medium “shit” production and not good production?

          Even back to the days of TOS Trek was designed to look better on colour TVs when not everyone had them. Lo and behold, we all eventually moved over to colour.

          There has to be a certain level of expectation on the consumer to keep their equipment up to date and to design for the best available otherwise things would just stagnate.
