Soundbars have pretty much replaced the ol' "home theater in a box" solution, but in my experience don't offer a high fidelity sonic experience...until now? The Sonos Arc is the first soundbar that I've been impressed enough with to actually install in my living rooom. Now, should I get the subwoofer?

Glad you like this one more. We'd love to get the quantitative tests like those other channels and have started looking around for the necessary equipment.

Wow. Never stop fighting, Calranthe.

Buy 240Hz monitors on Amazon (PAID LINK): https://geni.us/BGYuD You thought 240Hz gaming monitors were fast? Meet the ASUS PG259QN, a 360HZ IPS gaming monitor with G-SYNC and HDR10. But is it a meaningful upgrade to the PG258Q…or a worthy opponent of the Samsung Odyssey G7?

So we're on the same page, cool Can you help me understand maybe why you think it didn't come across that way to you?

I have an OLED TV in my living room. I am well aware of how the different transmissive/emmissive/reflective display technologies work; I know what FALD is trying to do, it just isn't very good at it yet. Even high-end displays with the most local dimming zones still have halos around the cursor and poor viewing angles. The quality of the experience definitely depends on the content but ya, generally speaking I think FALD is an in-between technology that will die once as OLEDs become more mainstream (like Samsung's upcoming models), microLED comes to market, or dual-membrane LCDs (like those from HiSense) become more popular.

In this video, Linus explains how he misunderstood Sweeney's statement, apologizes for spreading misinformation, and discusses some of the cool tech that makes the PS5 truly exciting for gamers of all stripes.

tbh all of that was just to make the video interesting to watch instead of Linus' head reading an essay lol
