I don't know for sure, but I think it's very likely Discovery's VFX are rendered at 2k.
USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

That would suck on so many levels.
Well, one level less than it should.
To be fair more than a few of them kinda do.
I don't know if this has been posted here or not (I was on hiatus for a while and when I started reading through 50 pages last night it got bogged down with the communicator-cell phone discussion) but this is a great watch. I am really starting to appreciate the shorter neck in its own right:
Rage!
They might as well have, since they seem to want to retcon TOS out of existence.
You know, repeating the same thing over and over doesn't make it true.
Changing the designs of TOS retroactively does not remove TOS from existence, in-universe or otherwise.
Personally, I'm getting quite relaxed with the whole thing.
Had they gone that route, I would have figured that it was 'before its time', in the sense of being 'futuristic', it was met with disapproval by conservatives, and was closeted for a while until a later date when conditions were more favorable and it was trotted out again to better reception.
Little imaginative exercises to explain something are better than just sitting around complaining.
Of course, the imagination can also make fun of the complaining:

If that were true, they wouldn't still be licencing merchandise that use the TOS designs.

Nah you mean the Abramsprise, can't use the TMP Enterprise due to timeline but funnily enough the looks and nacelles would fit in perfectly to the Starfleet ships we have seen like the Europa.
Plus it would look like a minnow next to the Discovery, it would also need a trailer to carry all the food, water and spares it would need for a 5 year mission.
DSC still doesn't erase TOS, the events of the TV series still happened/will happen.
No, I meant TMP. Why would you think otherwise? Or did I miss the joke?
Not in the way it’s portrayed in TOS, it doesn’t. The redesign of the Enterprise is proof enough of that.
Just visually, the important part are the stories and the characters. all of that still happened the same was as TOS. The design of the Enterprise doesn't change that.
There is nothing about the stories and the characters in DSC that is remotely like TOS.
We're still 9 years before the series starts.
We've already been through that: they've retroactively changed the look of the ship.
Yeah, being a different ship and time period and crew and story and all. :/
