Audiobook! Read by me! I had to audition for it and everything! amzn.to/3Z0pGl6

My book, Budget Travel for Dummies, is here! There's both paperback and ebook versions. I hope you like it! amzn.to/4blK0B8

Woah. Ok, I'm definitely going to check that out.

You are so right about Vangelis.

Some news! My new book, Budget Travel for Dummies, will be available in January! Guess I need to hurry up and finish writing it...

Maybe? Optical might be a safer bet. You wouldn't get Atmos but through a soundbar Atmos isn't a huge deal.

Sure

Hi all. I don't tweet much anymore because the fun got sucked out of it by you know who. I've got some cool news to share soon, but for now, be kind. Oh, and this blue check was fun for a while but I'll be glad it's gone. There's no scenario where I'd pay to create content.

AI is also making up links that look real. So even if it cites sources those sources might be totally fabricated.

FWIW new models will be announced next week at CES.

OLED (LG, some Sony) or if you can afford it, QD-OLED (Samsung, some Sony)

It changes a lot each year, and new TVs will be announced next week at CES. MiniLED is a good step between regular LED LCD and OLED, and the prices of those are dropping all the time.

That said, even budget TVs look great these days, so I wouldn't stress about it.

Not really, no. For good HDR you need contrast, brightness, and color, 3 things that are still difficult to achieve without elaborate backlights or OLED.

Ah, hadn't tested those. Well that makes sense since it's Amazon. Selling your data is the main reason TVs are as cheap as they are now, so this is going to be an uphill battle.

You don't have to connect a TV to the internet, but it will limit or prevent you from getting firmware updates. There is no such thing as a "dumb" TV anymore.

I write about TVs for CNET and the Wall Street Journal. Happy to answer any questions you have.
