This article lists what Rtings.com believes to be the three best budget 4K TVs this year, all of which offer Dolby Vision:

Anyone else feel uncomfortable sitting on a plane facing the back of the plane? Same could be said for other forms of transport, like a bus or train. I just can't comfortably do it. I feel it messes with my equilibrium.

Huh? I've never seen a seat on any commercial plane that faces the back. Were you on a cargo plane or something?

It was a commercial flight. It's been a while since I flew on that particular flight. But, they do exist. Or at least they did, as far as I know.

I am more prone to motion sickness when sitting backwards, and I am generally prone to motion sickness already, so sitting backwards is sure way to make me spill my guts.

But somewhere, I read several comments suggesting that it was actually Hugh Grant and now I just read an article where Jake Gyllenhall's name got tossed in the ring. I don't know what to believe!

Believe half of what you hear and none of what you see

Story of my life

I bought a small steel cross with a green stone in it (we were both born in August), and placed some of her ashes in it with the help of my roommate. It may not mean much to less sentimental types, but I'm comforted to have a small piece of her literally close to my heart now. I said this at her memorial, and it still holds true - "My mother was no saint, but she had one of the biggest hearts of anyone I knew."

It's not quite been ten years since my mom passed and I still miss her. Been dreaming about how much she hates me and blames me for how her life turned out. Imagine waking up from that and having to get ready for work. I tell you my dreams may be the death of me.

That's ludicrous. 4K TV's are at insane low prices. My 100" 4K TV only cost me $1,799.00 with tax and installation. 5 years ago you couldn't get a 90" 4K TV for under $5,000.

Watching the Yankees home opener. I like to live chat with other Yankees fans but Reddit is down.

For the bicyclists among us--why do "mountain" bikes have so many gears now? Seems like when I was young a characteristic of a mountain bike was less than ten gears (ususally 6 or 8 IIRC), but it seems like when I look at them now they are 15-26. Seems more complicated than useful, but maybe I'm completely wrong.

Regarding vertigo, motion sickness etc., if the camera shot in a television series (mainly with modern series) starts going in circles or a curved shape I cover my eyes or look away until that camera shot has finished. You see more on shows today camera shots made using drone cameras, but those don't seem as bad. I can remember back when shaky camerawork in US television shows was the new thing (that took some getting used to, but it can still cause giddiness etc.).

On a separate note, am not looking forward to the clocks going forward an hour this Sunday. But it will stay brighter later in the day though.

Well at least they didn't get far. Probably died before they could hit people.

I've been wondering why the Dell UltraSharp 40 productivity monitor that I have had for six weeks often blacks out briefly when going in and out of fullscreen programs like image viewers and when going through images. It was AMD FreeSync. The variable refresh rate available in the Windows Display settings keeps screen tearing out of my games without causing me these fullscreen annoyances. I'm so relieved that I finally figured it out.
