How I Fell in Love Again: A 4K Story

April 18, 2017 By Lena 19 Comments

At the tender age of fourteen… I fell in love. With baseball.

You may recognize the year – 1992 – and you’ll probably recognize these names, too: Roberto Alomar, Joe Carter, Juan Guzman and Kelly Gruber. These were the men I followed; I knew their batting averages and on base percentage. I celebrated every home run, every run batted in, every base on balls. I held them to the highest standard. My role model (and even my first crush) could be found in that 40-man roster.

I followed the boys of summer straight through to their World Series Championship win that fall, and again the following year, when they repeated the feat. By the time I saw Joe Carter jumping up and down for the second time, I was already a bona fide baseball superfan.

Now I want to say that I continued to obsess over the Blue Jays, even as they spent years trying to rebuild a championship team, but the simple truth is that I was a teenager and I had more pressing issues (cough, boys) to attend to. …

It’s been just under two months since I’ve experienced television like never before thanks to my new Samsung 4K SUHD TV and the Rogers NextBox 4K. You may have noticed that over the years, I’ve greatly reduced the number of product reviews on my blog; this is to make room for glowing testimonials for the products and services I truly. freaking. love.

And I LOVE #Lifein4K.

Now, I know a lot of y’all followed along during my Blue Jays Home Opener Party. It was quite the soiree! We had food, family, fun… and the chance to cheer on the Jays while watching in resolution that’s four times better than HD alone.
4kHowever, one recurring question from followers was, “Is it really worth it? Should I invest in a NextBox 4K and/or upgrade my television?” I didn’t feel qualified to answer immediately, simply because we still needed time to get comfortable with the TV (the settings! all the settings!) and I always prefer to make an informed recommendation. The solution: hours and hours of 4K viewing. (Hey, this was the kind of research I could get behind!) …
