TVs

You can watch movies and shows from Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and other services on a smartphone or a tablet, but a dedicated TV will always be something special. It’s the centerpiece of your living room, and the only display that you can truly cozy up to on the couch for hours on end. If you want to get more out of your purchase, you can make it even better with a powerful sound system and by hooking up a few game consoles, like the Nintendo Switch, PS4, or Xbox One. The latest 4K (and soon, 8K) displays from Sony, Samsung, LG, Vizio, and more deliver enhanced visual quality, better value, and smart features that you can’t find on other screens outside of your local cinema. If you’re looking for the latest TV news, how-tos on optimizing your home theater setup, and reviews for OLED and LCD TVs, you’ve come to the right place.

Don’t forget.

While some manufacturers have made it easier to disable motion smoothing on new TVs since Tom Cruise made his heartfelt plea (and built in Filmmaker Mode), it’s on by default for far too many screens.

If you’re stuck watching a TV with that soap opera effect, our how-to guide can get you started on finding the off switch, even if some TV manufacturers have recently changed the name of the setting (for example, many new Samsung TVs can turn all the processing off with one toggle now).

The best deal we’ve ever seen on the best OLED TV for most people.

LG’s 65-inch C1 OLED is $1,196.99 at Amazon right now for Black Friday. It usually costs at least $200 more than that even in the very best sales we’ve seen. Yes, it’s last year’s model but the excellent new C2 isn’t notably better — the C1 has all the flashy features like HDMI 2.1 with VRR and ALLM for the latest game consoles. For so many reasons, this is the sweet spot of TVs.

If you’ve got Amazon’s credit card, it’ll give you 10 percent cashback, too.

Samsung Odyssey Ark review: curved and cursed

The $3,500 Ark isn’t as rich to look at as a cheaper OLED or as useful for multitasking as sticking a couple of cheap monitors together.

Get ready for some Netflix news.

At 1PM ET today Netflix is streaming its second annual Tudum event, where you can expect to hear news about and see trailers from its biggest franchises, including The Witcher and Bridgerton. I’ll be covering the event live alongside my colleague Charles Pulliam-Moore, and you can also watch along at the link below. There will be lots of expected names during the stream, but I have my fingers crossed for a new season of Hemlock Grove.
