    I did as well.  NASCAR 4 for life.

     

    There ya go.

    That was my 3rd game at that time. Counter Strike, and then F16/F22 (novalogic), then came nascar 4. Once in a while mixed a little mech warrior 4 (or was it 3? I’d have to look) as well.

     

    Now? I’m lucky to turn the switch on once every couple of weeks.

    Dinosaurs was an underrated show. 

    Did a rewatch of that last spring. Still got it.

    Looked like a toothpick on fire to me.

    Is there a common solution, or it’s just because they broadcast in 720 and the larger tv makes it more noticeable?

     

    Anton hit it well. For that scenario, the problem is putting a 720 image (lowgrade HD) on a 4k.

    For that to happen the image has to be converted on the fly into a 4k signal. Where it gets tricky is how you do it.

    You can of course use apps on the tv, or some type of (4k)streaming stick. Don’t do that.

    I’ll skip all the yadda yadda, but suffice to say your best overall option is a 4k apple tv. Set it to output 4k/HDR or 4k/Dolby Vision.

    It won’t be perfect, but it has the best conversion out there overall. Won’t be the same as true 4k bluray, but it’s pretty good. 

    And I say that with a 120” screen to cover.

    I often remind myself that I’m not here for a documentary on oil exploration and production, I am here to see shit go south for Billy Bob for twelve hours, and then his wife calls with her tits out
    I just give him the Jeremiah Johnson head nod. 

     

    Pretty much that, yeah.

     

    I’m sure docs and nurses take issue with hospital shows, but it is what it is: Entertainment.
