NP5 is better than NX5. That’s what you asked about.

…large tvs…? Entertainment for the rich…that will quickly fade away…? I guess you’re brand new to consumer electronics and home theater and missed the ... checks notes … last 30 years of mass market TVs 😂

130” flat panel would be wild! But all of this continues to frustrate me. I have room for 120” screen. 115” is too small but 130” is too big. But neither one is navigable to my theater. So it’s all moot! grumble grumble :)

Started an Umbrella Academy rewatch, in anticipation of Season 4.

It’s a mix. Some features this year. But some major features not coming until 2025. Per latest Bloomberg newsletter .

Discovery from day one had the Spore Drive problem: how to explain how Star Fleet had an Infinite Warp drive that no one knew about. Maybe they decided they needed to eliminate it from “canon” so that future Trek shows (if any were ever set in the 29th century) didn’t have to retcon out the...

Not my thing, but I have younger friends and family who might be really interested.
