    Sorry, EVs — I test drove my first PHEV and it’s the perfect blend of electric and gas power

    Thanks Alexk12 for giving us, relatively scarce (not), apartment dwellers a nod. For some reason I was thinking that the hybrid/phev could charge the battery as I drive using the motor/alternator. I didn't see any mention of that in the article. That type of situation would be more attractive...

    News Netflix tipped to raise prices again in 2024 — here’s what we know

    I agree with the other comments. It's bad enough that they raise prices, but then to add commercials? I started watching streaming to AVOID the commercials! It was worth paying a few bucks to not have commercials THAT was the reason for paid streaming in the first place. Hulu hasn't been able to...

    News TCL shows off new CSOT technology — and it could be a game changer for LCD TVs

    I'm somewhat surprised to see all of this discussion about the importance of bezels and bezel size especially after comments such as.. (Let me quote a website called tomsguide) Regarding the neo QN900C "offers near-invisible bezels". Mmm, first world problems! I suppose bezels are just the...

    News Samsung just announced a 98-inch QLED TV, and the price might surprise you

    Tom's guide is dead to me. They've been bought out and sold out. It's gotten worse and worse over the years. Moving comments to a forum which is barely being used by anyone and never seen on the page WITH the article is a FAIL. No one will even see the his post, most likely . Sites survive...

    News I just saw the future of OLED from LG Display — including a 360-degree foldable

    I can appreciate the excitement over OLED, but it still just scares me in regards to BURN IN. I was shopping for a new TV in 2022 and thought I should try to give the relatively lower priced (historically speaking ) OLEDs a look . I still found review after review and complaint after complaint...

    News CES 2023: Latest news from LG, Samsung, Nvidia and more

    Let's start with the first paragraph "If you want to se the products that really caught out eye, " I know there's a rush to publish, but this was obviously NOT proofread even ONCE. Shouldn't we expect more from people who are supposed to be professionals? I mean, wouldn't you at least...

    How to change Quick Settings on Android 12

    Thanks so much bro! I hate (am I aloud to use that word? ) the new layout of quick settings and you have to pull down MULTIPLE times to adjust screen brightness which is something I do AT LEAST twice a day. Now it takes 2 pulls just to get there! Android 12 has evolved into something that is...

    News TCL's new 8K TV brings the IMAX experience home — and we want one now

    I was kind of excited in early 2020 to get hands on an affordable 8k TV with 2.1. Neither seemed to materialize in any quantity. TCL was my expected provider due to their history of undercutting the top tier guys with a lower price and a minimal decrease in picture quality. Here we are a year...

    Xbox Series X vs. Xbox Series S: Which Xbox should you buy?

    Being that I am totally enamored with the Xbox series S and its 1440 resolution, I just want to purchase the perfectly compatible TV that has 1440 native resolution. I don't want upscaling or downscaling. Also it seems that the series S units are readily available EVERYWHERE unlike the series X...

    PS5 vs. PS4: Should you buy now or wait?

    Interesting article. I was surprised you didn't touch on the storage capacity issue. PS5 uses a proprietary SSD. It starts with 825 GB before OS overhead. PS5 games appear to be around 80 to 100GB +. Is the tradeoff for faster speeds going to be worth storing only 8 - 10 games on the SSD? Can...

    5 Things You Should Buy (and Avoid) on Amazon Prime Day

    TV deals on prime day? Seriously? The TCL 75" was 1499 in March. It's now 2299. So, if they give you 500 off is THAT a deal?? Same with the coveted TCL 6series 65" It's up almost 300 above its a July price. I suggest waiting for Black Friday. This is no time to buy a TV.

    5 Things You Should Buy (and Avoid) on Amazon Prime Day

    Looking at that Pic of the Amazon truck, I just realized that Bezos puts a symbol of his penus on all of his trucks! What's up with that??
