Meanwhile, in rest of the world Football. We get the English Premier League in UHD (HDR I think still pending till broadcast standard is agreed)

Why is US broadcasting so crap?

[Robert Zohn]

I'll take HDR over no HDR on the FHD OTA and OTT carrier.

US Football is better and more exciting so it doesn't matter as much.

It's a violent sport that can lead to fatal concussions
Good for the money if you make it to the big league, bad for the health if you bounce too much ...

Real men play hockey.

Some are jet fighter pilots ...

This year I enjoy the best of both worlds as the Baltimore Ravens as well as Liverpool F.C. are doing outstanding. Hoping the Ravens meet the Vikings in the Super Bowl so I can trash talk Waboman before hand.

Anyway, given that some vfx work has been done on the 2nd trailer that some with a keen aviation eye may have noticed (the fighter jet on a stick switch at the gate of NASNI, the hypersonic special aircraft guard shack flyover in the dez, etc.) a shout out back to Method Studios (in your old neck of the woods, Bob) - https://www.facebook.com/MethodVFX/ (scroll down).

Ravens? They’re on the opposite end of the country. Good crab cakes tho. Thought you’d support more of a local team, e.g. 49ers (who have a legitimate shot at going). Now you know I’m always up for some quality trash talking.😉

True. There’s nothing like a right proper soccer riot to get the blood pumping.

There's been very little hooliganism since the early 90s. You get the odd idiot now and then. But nothing on the scale seen in the 80s.

That’s too bad. Was the most exciting part of the game. At least you guys have pole throwing. Just don’t tell PM. He gets really sensitive around poles.

DSCC: OLED TV Panel Growth Slowed In Q4 2019

Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology is becoming an increasingly important technology to the future of the television industry but the recent growth pace of revenue and unit shipments has slowed in the fourth quarter, according to data released by market research firm DSCC.

In the period, OLED panels for TVs ranked second by revenue for all device applications, behind only smartphones, with the dollar volume for TV panels reaching $639.1 million in Q4, followed by smartwatch revenues with $638.6 million, according to the Q4 update of the DSCC Quarterly OLED Shipment and Fab Utilization Report.

“We estimate that smartwatch panel revenue will reach $1.88 billion for the full year 2019, an increase of 47% of 2018, while TV revenues of $2.4 billion manage only a 15% increase,” the DSCC said.

OLED TV panel shipments increased 11% year over year in 2019 to 3.2 million units, with the fourth quarter of 2019 registering a meager 3% year over year growth to 842,000 units, the DSCC report shows.
