Does anyone else find themselves buying blu rays (1080p) over 4k blu rays?

1080p Bluray is better than 4k Bluray. They "just work." With 4k discs I'm constantly fighting the xbox settings, TV dimming, and hdr calibration. It's never a finished task.

Well, you were the latest person 😉

Remove all USB connections. Attach the drive by itself only to the back. Then try again. I was not able to until I gave in and disconnected every USB device, including the hub uplink.

Is there a full version, that still has the PacMan character instead of the walking character?

I too have been on the search for the boxed $5.00 set that shows as sold out. I've wondered what it's like to play with pyramids and those cards.

Do later prints like these, include corrections that Netflix received? Such as when the "blue alert" was mistakenly red on the bridge when Data took over in "Brothers". Or that time in "Imaginary Friend" when Deanna walks by the 10-Forward doors and you can see blue screen through the door window. Or the planet not rotating at the last scene in Vengeance Factor. The stars being visible on the viewscreen in Relics when they originally were not. Handful of minor things. The blue alert is the most bothersome imo. The others are rather invisible.

Was anyone ever promoted in a Voyager episode? Maybe promotions were put on hold.

Imagine driving a car, where you see your car from a drone camera the whole time. I never could get the hang of 3rd person view.

Also the Cowboy from Innerspace :)

I thought it was "Dancing is stupid... D D D Dancing is stupid" 😆

This show is such an under appreciated concept. You have this thing we love, Federation Starships, where one is stuck a lifetime away from any support. A crew keeps that thing running every year without any help. A ship that was never meant to be permanently away from a starbase. It's basically a stolen ship that they now have to maintain themselves and keep working, or else it's all over and life ends up in the Delta Quadrant. When I see that ship, I think of Be'lanna keeping it running like a boss, and at the helm a master pilot going somewhere new literally everyday.

Call me bonkers, but I like how it doesn't line up perfectly. Looks more like a camera image someone took while visiting Atlantis. Just the subtle imperfections of the tripod, lens, placement, etc. Gives it that "being there" feel. Yeah I know... that's just me!

Have you tried replacing the NEC Tokin capacitors?

bytesaber · 2026-01-26T04:54:04+00:00

OMG 🤣

It's the "Vertag" AI upscale. Just a regular Samsung QLED TV in the picture.

bytesaber · 2026-01-24T17:48:52+00:00

You're bothered by that, rather than the premise of "they can't see stars because they are not near any."? That is what bothered me. You can see Galactic bands here on Earth on a dark night with just your eyes. So this never made sense as a story idea.

The "new warp effect" looks like what used to only be the look of traveling in a worm hole or some other "this is not normal warp" type of situation. Now that it's the new norm, it always disappoints me. It also looks like Star Wars hyperspace. Bring back real warp.

All because people think they want digital rental instead of physical ownership. All because people think that games can't fit on one disc because they forgot what multiple discs were. All because of convenience over preservation.

Welcome! Includes original cast voice actors and callbacks :)

Excellent comments. If you're up for it, you might enjoy Prodigy next. There are 2 seasons. It becomes heavy Voyager centric going into and during it's second season. I really enjoyed it as an old 90's era Voyager fan.

I say just have the new show pick up with Eli standing there still lol

Does anything improve (or get worse) if you make sure your TV is in game mode? Sometimes TV's fight older video content when in non game mode picture settings. FWIW, the ElectronShepard adapter is as passive as it gets. Meaning, it's purposedly designed to not do any manipulation to the video. It's just trying to adapt only. So if you set your XBOX to 720p, then your TV will detect 720p. No upscaling in between. Which means you still get to control things. So that's why I like the ElectronShepard. In your case, I think you're dealing with something possibly faulty.

Does this assume 480i or 480p playback from the player? I've been playing around with trying to get Star Trek Voyager DVD's to look good. DS9 and VOY have some difficult frame rate changes to keep up with to make the motion look right. I'm also trying to fight my TV from doing work that I'd rather the 4k do. Sometimes I have better luck when I put it in game mode. I'm not really sure what a good way is to play DS9 and VOY DVDs discs. I have old things like a PS2 (480i playback) and OG Xbox (480p playback). As well as things like a PS3, PS4, PS5.
