The Grand Tour

[Xcentric]

No comment on the program content, but...4K HDR streaming over WiFi...is unbelievable.

HDTV on cable or satellite? Pfft.

This is the first test of a 4K video on our new TV. I have to say, the video is so good I'll watch anything. Stunning.

And it streams without stutter. Incredible.

Okay, I'll get bored, but in the meantime I've never seen anything look so good on a TV.

Sure it's not your new glasses?

Or your brownies?

Very entertaining opening for the new show. No different than their Top Gear years, except they're getting on in years.

With all the chatter about this show, most of what I read, was its the same show as the old one... not one mention that it's 4k HDR. Now I have to watch it, or at least a bit of it. And really? Mike Skinner?

I'll bet it would look even better with new glasses AND brownies.

Seriously, this is at least as good as uncompressed Ultra HD Blu-ray, but over WiFi.

About a month ago, got a Sony 75" Z9, should be killer. No wifi though, hard wired Roku 4. I had zero intentions to watch this show, but HDR will have me tune in.

We have a 65" curved screen 4K Samsung and it was awesome watching it on that (the TV didn't catch fire either)
Excuse my ignorance, but what Mustang is Clarkson driving at the begiining?
I look forward to seeing Clarkson's house getting demolished after he bet on the P1 being quickest, and it actually was the slowest. Lots of teeth-gnashing on the Mac forums, blaming tyres etc.

Is there a link to the show? I don't see anything but Gary's semi intelligible ramblings.

I still don't understand why when they've got he Porsche and Mclaren going around the track they aren't wearing helmets and I'm surprised they both have regular seat belts instead of harnesses.

Edit: I'm watching this in real time, so I see that the Ferrari does have harnesses.

Hadn't they tried to get the three cars together in the past? It looks like they had factory reps for the Porsche and McLaren, but the Ferrari had in the past refused to do so. So whose car is it?

Semi-intelligible.

Semi-intelligible.

I get it. It's like also-ran, runner-up and second-place finisher, right?
