USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

I think the uber-real motion is due to a separate TV setting called video interpolation. At least, that's what Tom Cruise told me.

It’s probably motion compensation that tends to be enabled by default on most TVs that’s causing a headache. It’s been around since 1080p days, not strictly 4K related.

I can see what I'm talking about in this YT video. I guess I assumed it came from a 4K source.

When I was privy to internal Discovery affairs, it was a 2k master. That was over a year ago, however. I doubt it's changed being as VFX heavy as it is. Even Marvel movies are 2k masters.
 
It gives me a headache. I don't know what else to tell you...:shrug:

Well, that's odd. I would've thought that the closer we get to our eye's resolution the easier it gets on the eye...

...maybe it's like the uncanny valley; if you get too close to it without actually reaching it, your brain sees something wrong. :P
 
4K: The human eye can't discern the difference, but you know it's there.

Oh, your eye can tell the difference, both between 1080p and 4K, and between 4K and 8K. Beyond 8K, however, we're getting so close to our eye's actual resolution that I don't think it's worth going higher, as far as television sets go.

There is something about it that just makes me feel pain...I wish I had a better answer than that.
 
I'm rather sorry for that last bit - seems the writers are utter cowards for not daring to come up with a name, even when it makes no sense whatsoever for Pike not to use a name.
That will be resolved in a hundred years or so...

Is there some pressing need for her to get a name, that no matter how inventive it is, will loudly be shouted down by some portion of the fanbase? I have no problem with letting it go until it is necessary (possible Pike spinoff).

I don't see it being necessary at all.

All it will great is ridiculous debates in the fandom and many complaints. Spare me, please.
