The OFFICIAL STNG-R general discussion thread!

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

The 28th is also the rumored day of the Amazon tablet launch. I hope TNG-R doesn't get overshadowed by the Amazon announcement. Or maybe they will be announced together and TNG-R will be launch content for the tablet.

I forget where I read it, but I seem to remember reading that the CGI model was lost for some reason.

 

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

When colorization was a fad in the 80’s, it didn’t look realistic, but we’re talking about digital manipulation of video and that technology has come a hell of a long way, to say the least. If there were enough of a market for it to provide financial incentive for someone to get serious about improving colorization technology, I bet that very realistic-looking colorization could be achieved.

 

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

This, definitely!

The DVDs are not easy-on-the-eye at all. Even the later seasons have poor contrast and dull colours.

TNG in HD is going to look mind-blowingly good. I can hardly wait to even see some screenshots, never mind full episodes!

 

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

I kind of like STNG anticipation! Like TOS, the reruns sometimes get too familiar...though I always like going back and watching them in phases. I look forward to the "newness" of the STNG-R discs.

RAMA

 

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

I'm a little disappointing on how Trekmovie is handling this. There's little to no information. Maybe it's because there's not much to report but...come on...update! They still have TOS remastered and the '09 movie tabs up there.

 

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

It almost seems as if the technology sites are more interested than the ST news sites! You can find thread after thread on DVD forums talking about it.

 

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

You have to take polls with a grain of salt, espically online polls as people have made a conscious decision to vote, rather than being asked in the street by a pollister. Also TNG was the more popular of the recent ST shows, so a larger audiance can skew the result.

And if you're watching it on a HD TV, is it a LCD, Plasma or LED, as each has advantages, I've watched some of the recent Trek shows on my LED TV, and some of the TNG episodes don't look that great.

 

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

When I bought my Blu ray player and HDTV one of the first things I did was tryout my TNG DVD's to see how they looked.

My heart sank.

Hair styling mainly, and makeup, costume, sets to some extent.

 

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

I almost think TrekMovie was given an inside scoop/blu ray preview, and they're sitting on stories until the official announcement in exchange for the early information.

Sorry, there is no such thing as an LED TV. The closest would be an OLED TV, which I'm 99% sure you don't have. What you have is an LED back lit LCD. And even that can vary between side lit and a grid with local dimming. But in the end, the are all still LCD variants. The only thing that changed is the light source.

 

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

I’ll tell you a trick for getting an image that doesn’t look like crap.

When TNG came out on Netflix one of the first things I did was try it out on my iPad. It looked fine.

Um....the ship is backwards.

 

Re: The OFFICIAL STNG-R discussion thread!

It might be a mockup, since the ship looks a lot lower quality than everything else.
