All of a sudden Vue is blocking N.E. Revolution games...making me nervous.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

So we just received our TCL 55S405 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV a few nights ago. It's basically the highest-rated "cheap 4K" TV out there; it regularly goes for $600, but we got it on sale for $400 (we also got a sound bar/sub package). After cutting the chord in 2013, and watching on a 31" 720 tv since 2010, this is like a whole new world. Also the Roku system gets an A from me. Waaaay better than either the Comcast or TimeWarner services I had in the past.

congrats

I used to love the board game, but haven't played it in years. What's that got to do with this?

it has everything to do with this

Depends on the media, I guess. 1080p unless it's actually 4K content, is my rudimentary understanding. I'm not very knowledgable on how upscaling happens, or even what it looks like exactly, so I really have no idea how much of the available content is in 1080p vs. 1080i or 720, but then upscaled once it's in the box.

Well, most TV content is in 720p and compressed in some capacity of another. Depends on the source really. A lot of the streaming services have 1080p and 4k content though.
