PS4 is on its own HDMI port since its only 1080p, and its CEC features are better. But 90% of the time I'm using the Apple TV. Those voice commands and that search feature has ruined me for all other devices.

So now I have three 4K/HDR devices that I juggle around on THIS 2 port switch, which I highly recommend. I got it all hidden in a cabinet and use the wired remote button to switch from the Series S to the Apple TV. It's pretty snazzy.

But if I want to run a 4K blu-ray I have to unplug either the Series S or the Apple TV and swap it for the One S. But these days I rarely use discs so I haven't had to do that in awhile now.

Re Sedai's TV: what device you using to feed it 4K?

My current TV was gifted to me with bad backlights and I spent 3 hours replacing them (never again), and it wasn't until after that I discovered it only has 1 HDMI port that can do 4K/HDR and had to pick up a switcher.

Then after I acquired my PS4 I discovered the other HDMI ports could do 1080p/HDR.

Like, the dragons got better every time we saw them at the start, and then boom. They suddenly took a nosedive and looked like something made in a dude's garage. Went all Pete's Dragon on their ass.

That battle was so dark because they totally cheaped out on the special effects. And I will be hard pressed to be convinced otherwise now that I've seen it in 4K. It was absolute trash.

That entire last season was just "well, let's see how cheap and fast we can make this so we can go do other projects".

For me, a lot of that was contextual to several things playing out during the last two seasons (e.g., shorter episode counts, Star Wars pulling possible attention, skip travel! and the huge delay in production there at the end). The one battle under moonlight seemed to be brightened up a good bit this time. I don't know if that's the change of TV, perception, or if anything was actually edited after the initial release and complaints.

This is a series that I will never rewatch (entire), much as I enjoyed the early seasons. Knowing how it ends, I know it isn't worth the trip. Nevertheless, there are some fantastic episodes.

I never saw the last season and it has always sounded like I didn't miss anything.
