Now that all five major TV makers have shown off their 2024 flagship TVs, it's time to talk about which TVs we believe are in the running for best TV of 2024. Will OLED win the day or will it finally be toppled by a Mini LED TV? Ultimately, no TV is perfect for all content in every environment. But the key is to pick the best TV for your specific needs.We chat with Caleb Denison, Editor-at-Large for Digital Trends to compare notes on which new TVs from Sony, Hisense, TCL, LG and Samsung are most likely to earn the top marks overall and which factors, including black level performance, brightness, contrast, color reproduction, bright room performance and - of course - SIZE - go into the decision of which TV to buy in 2024.*** Thank you to our home theater loving sponsor Q Acoustics at https://www.qacoustics.com ***Watch the video version of this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JjlmdqMtWJQWatch all of Caleb's videos at: https://www.youtube.com/digitaltrendsOn the panel:Caleb Denison, Digital Trends Editor-at-LargeBrian Mitchell, eCoustics Founder & CEOChris Boylan, eCoustics Editor-at-LargeRelated links:https://www.ecoustics.com/podcasts/sony-2024/https://www.ecoustics.com/products/sony-bravia-tvs-soundbars-2024/https://www.ecoustics.com/products/tcl-qd-mini-led-tv-2024/https://www.ecoustics.com/products/samsung-tvs-2024/https://www.ecoustics.com/products/lg-oled-tvs-2024/https://www.ecoustics.com/products/hisense-u9n-tv-2024/Credits:Original intro music by The Arc of All. https://sourceoflightandpower.bandcamp.comVoice Over Provided by Todd Harrell of SSP Unlimited. https://sspunlimited.comProduction by Mitch Anderson, Black Circle Studios. https://blackcircleradio.comKeep up-to-date with all the latest Hi-Fi, Headphone, Home Theater and Music news by visiting: https://www.ecoustics.com#digitaltrends #calebdenison #miniled #oled #tv #4ktv #ecoustics #sony #samsung #lg #tcl #hisense #hometheater #hdr #uhd #4k #8k

On this week's show we discuss a video where Caleb Denison of Digital Trends, says the AppleTV is the best at streaming your video and we have a review of the Tablo TV Over the Air DVR. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Disney Kicks Off Password-Sharing Crackdown in Canada Samsung SmartThings And Philips Hue Expand Synergies  FAST Is Making Streaming TV Look More Like Traditional TV  Netflix Reportedly Set to Raise Prices After Actors Strike Ends  Other: Dolby Atmos FlexConnect How You Stream Matters We received a couple of emails (one from Stan and one from John) this week pointing us to an article and video stating that how you stream your content affects what you see. The article is from Dark Horizons and the video is on Youtube (Apple TV Best for Netflix? Right Time To Buy a TV? | You Asked: Ep. 7).  The video host, Caleb Denison of Digital Trends, says the AppleTV is the best, although he prefers using Google TV. So how did he come to this conclusion? Some TVs or set top boxes limit color bit depth to 4:2:0, which means more color banding just because you are watching on that particular platform. Many platforms may have that setting as the default so check to make sure you have an option to change it. Without going into a ton of detail, 4:4:4 is 100% of the chroma information, 4:2:2 is 50% and 4:2:0 is 25%. If you have Dolby Vision enabled on an AppleTV you will not have an option to select a Chroma setting. It will be 4:2:2 by default. Some platforms do not allow buffering. As a result you will never achieve the full 4K you are paying for. Caleb does not say which platforms do this. But if you have 4K with a slower data rate it won't be difficult to determine if your system is buffering or not.  Another issue is with frame rate. Some will not give you 24 fps but will instead convert it to 30 fps.  So why the AppleTV? According to the host, “It's the one with the least amount of questions and just enough controls available. It also comes with the fewest number of headaches, and for that I'm willing to pay a little extra. It's not perfect, but it is the least flawed and sadly I think that's where we're at right now with streaming.” Tablo TV Over the Air DVR Over the years we have had a chance to review a lot of personal DVRs. Most of which have come and gone. Some had stand alone hardware and others required a PC. Some had built-in tuners and others required an external tuner. Today we take a quick look at a DVR that is a stand alone box no bigger than an AppleTV or Roku streaming box with two built in ATSC 2.0 tuners. That device is the Tablo 4th generation that goes for about $110.  Features: Watch, pause and record live broadcast TV from your antenna.  Record 50+ hours and never miss a moment with 128GB of onboard recording storage. Can expand up to 1000+ hours with an external hard drive Tablo lets you watch TV anywhere in your home on any smart device.  Record and watch live TV, subscription-free (Internet service is required).  Quick and easy setup. Setup Plug in power, Ethernet, and an antenna and you are ready to scan for channels. I initially had issues with  the Tablo giving me location errors and stopping the install process there. I contacted their Customer Support and they acknowledged the error and informed me of a server issue they were experiencing. Once those were resolved the process resumed without a hitch. The only complaint I had was that it took too long to download the channel guide. But I was being impatient.  Performance Once you complete the install and setup you can start watching TV and recording programs. I won't go into the details on how to do this because it's very intuitive and you've all done this before. In addition to the channels you receive over the air, Tablo has some FAST channels that include news, sports, old TV shows, and more.  You watch on your Tablet or phone and on Set Top boxes. Currently Roku, fireTV, android TV, GoogleTV, iOS and Android are supported. AppleTV, Samsung TVs, WebOS, and Vizio TVs are coming soon. Two devices can watch/record live TV simultaneously and up to six can watched recorded or streamed content simultaneously. Picture quality is good, but we are talking 1080i or 720p OTA, so don't expect the same as 4K HDR content you get from AppleTV or Netflix. The user interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Setting up recordings is simple. Recorded programs are grouped together based on series. Guide information is available and I haven't been prompted to pay for it which is a big plus over other DVRs.   There is no way to watch your content when you are away from home so consider that when making your buying decision. Also, a pleasant surprise is that you can record FAST channels and skip commercials. I'm not sure other devices let you do that.  In all, this is a great device if you are looking for a DVR like you used to have back in the day. You can watch anywhere in the house and, soon enough, on any device. If you want to stream your content outside your home, this product is not for you. Perhaps someday that capability will be added, but not today.

What's got you jazzed about 2022 panels, and what other tech are you tracking and reviewing?  How has your “most anticipated” article shaken out so far?  You dig the latest Macbooks I see, Love mine! How do you see the role of pro reviewers evolving given the flood of independent tech enthusiasts?   You follow all the tiers of the market, right?  How do you see the low end evolving? What's going on with 3D? Have we reached saturation and maturity on display tech?  What do you see the next great leap being? What do you see as the biggest home theater issues that most users are facing?  It's 2022 and we are still using one way (ie dumb) RF tech to try to coordinate all our components.  How has nobody fixed this?  CAN anyone ever fix it? Is HDMI as big a mess as Sam thinks it is? Got an opinion on physical media vs streaming / buying digitally?  Is it “And” or “Or” for you? Going big and going small.  42" and 97 OLED are finally arriving. The waiting is the hardest part.. Think either end will make any big waves in the market? Can projectors hope to compete and survive with panels nearing and beating 100 inches?   Quick Good Bad and Ugly: Sam - The Northman Caleb -  Dune
