On this week's show we take a look at the consumer reports ratings for 70 inch and larger TVs. We also read your email and take a look at the week's news.

This list was sent to us by Dermot who thought it may make a nice topic. We took the list and only updated pricing. So how does Consumer Reports determine a score for their TV ratings? Consumer Reports builds each TV's Overall Score from three buckets: lab performance, member surveys, and (for smart TVs) privacy/security. They do not accept manufacturer samples. Secret shoppers buy the sets at retail so they test the same units you would buy. They run 200+ TVs a year. Each set goes through 20+ tests and more than 500 data points in their Yonkers labs. Picture settings are optimized with the on-screen user controls only—not a full professional calibration. If a set needs a calibrator to look good, that hurts it. What the lab actually measures HD and UHD picture quality — test patterns plus real movie/TV clips for detail, black level, contrast, and color accuracy after the set is optimized. HDR — peak brightness (measured with a Photo Research PR-740 spectroradiometer), plus how well highlights and shadows hold up in dark and bright scenes. Viewing angle — color and contrast from both horizontal and vertical off-axis positions. Motion blur — how clean moving text and action stay. Sound quality — built-in speakers: clarity, bass, volume range, and distortion, compared against reference sets in the lab. Features / versatility — inputs, smart-TV functions, ease of use, etc. Data privacy and data security — whether the TV collects extra data, how easy it is to control that, encryption, known vulnerabilities, update practices. These scores are folded into the Overall Score. A viewing panel then watches real content side-by-side after the meter work is done. Survey piece Predicted reliability and owner satisfaction come from CR member surveys, not from the lab unit they bought. Reliability is brand-level, not model-level. A statistical model estimates the chance a new set from that brand will have a problem in the first five years. They control for age, how often it's used, and whether it has an extended warranty. Owner satisfaction is how likely members are to recommend that brand. It is weighted at 5% of the Overall Score for every product category. Reliability's weight varies by category (typically 10–20%). For TVs it sits toward the lower end of that range because members rate reliability about even with picture performance. If a brand scores Poor or Fair on predicted reliability, that model cannot get a CR "Recommended" badge, no matter how well it tested. When they don't have enough survey data for a brand (like on some Roku sets), they plug in category-average survey scores. How it becomes one number Overall Score is a weighted mix of the lab scores plus those two survey scores (and privacy/security). Models are then ranked against others in the same size group. That's why two 91-point sets can sit at very different prices: one won on lab performance plus surveys at a lower street price; the other is a more expensive flagship that still maxed the same scoring formula. Brand Model Overall Score Price LG OLED77C5PUA 91 $1,800 Samsung QN77S95F 91 $3,000 Samsung QN77S90F 90 $2,500 Samsung QN77S90H 89 $2,600 LG OLED77G6WUA 89 $3,800 LG OLED77G5WUA 88 $3,150 LG OLED77C6HUP 88 $2,700 LG OLED77M5PUA 87 $3,870 Samsung QN77S84FA 85 $1,600 LG OLED77B5PUA 84 $3,000 Sony K-77XR80 83 $3,000 Sony K-75XR90 83 $3,500 Samsung QN75QN90F 82 $2,000 Sony K-77XR8B 78 $2,500 Sony K-75XR70 78 $1,500 Hisense 75U8QG 75 $1,700 (65") LG 75QNED92AUA 75 $1,680 TCL 75QM8K 74 Mostly Unavailable Sony K-75XR50 73 $2,000 Roku 75R8B5 73 $1,250 Roku 75R8C5 72 $1,200 Hisense 75U75QG 72 $1,700 (65") TV COMPARISON SUMMARY TOP TIER (Score 88-91) LG OLED77C5PUA 91 $1,800 Best score-to-price Samsung QN77S95F 91 $3,000 Same score as C5, $1,200 more Samsung QN77S90F 90 $2,500 Samsung QN77S90H 89 $2,600 LG OLED77G6WUA 89 $3,800 Highest-priced LG LG OLED77G5WUA 88 $3,150 LG OLED77C6HUP 88 $2,700 Our takeaway is that the only score that actually matters here is not "91 vs 89." It is that the LG C5 is tied with Samsung's flagship S95F at 91, and it is $1,200 cheaper. If we were going to spend money for a 75–77" set, we would treat the list like this: Buy the C5 if the room is normal-to-dim and you want the best picture per dollar. Buy the S95F only if the room is bright, you want a matte screen, and you specifically want a bright picture. Do not buy it just because it is tied at 91. The Samsung S84F at $1,600 / 85 is the value model if you don't want to go OLED. Anything at 75 or below is fine for a secondary room. Especially when you consider models from Samsung and LG providing higher quality for barely more in cost. Does Consumer Reports still matter? Yes, but not as the only vote, and not the way it did 15 years ago. There are other sources out there and each weighs aspects of TVs differently. With that said, they all agree that the LG C5 is a really nice TV.
Buildings consume an enormous amount of energy. We have plenty of technologies that could make them perform better. So why is the real estate industry often so slow to adopt them?Dermot Sweeny has spent decades confronting that problem from the architect's side. When he couldn't convince clients to try a radically different approach to office design, he bought an older building and proved it himself. More than 7 million square feet later, that willingness to test ideas in real buildings has become central to how Dermot and his son Aiden evaluate new technology.In this episode, Nico explores how they turn promising ideas into technologies that developers are actually willing to use, including:

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thecelticunderground.substack.comThe domestic season may be over but there's still football and Celtic to chat about. Andrew & I decided to have a 30 min Celtic news chat followed by whatever other football stuff was going on but we ended up chatting Dermot and Celtic for nearly an hour before nipping on to talk signings (or lack thereof) managerial changes for the 3rd & 2nd placed si…
Will he/Won't he? The big debate in the days following the cup final seemed to be whether Dermot would or wouldn't appoint Robbie Keane. all the while, many were saying that it was MArtin's job if he wanted it, and he very much did and so (despite, as I write, no official confirmation) it has come to pass that Martin will be confirmed as the continuing/new permenant manager of Celtic.There's various pros and cons to the appointment, but he's our manager now. The club know where we're going, the recruitment team has scouted players that suit Martin and we should now be ready to go. The transfer window opens 15th June, so let's give Martin the tools to do a proper job next season.Set your diaries - Martin v Jose the rematch, June 5th 2027.Enjoy…Apple podcastsSpotifyAmazonPlayer.fmSpreakerAudioboomYoutube This is a public episode.

Gordon Dalziel joins Andrew Maclean in the studio, as we react to the news that Celtic's major shareholder is meeting with the former Ferencvaros boss over a return to Parkhead. We're also continuing our build-up to Scotland's return to the World Cup, and how Billy Gilmour's injury could affect the starting line-up and formation.Plus – your chance to win TRNSMT tickets, and earn a signed ball on Beat The Pundit.
Is Celtic's current model sustainable, or is the real problem rooted at the very top of the club? In today's live stream, the ACSOM panel dives deep into the principal shareholder's continuous grip on Celtic FC, exploring why a total structural "hard reset" is drastically needed ahead of the massive summer rebuild. With reports confirming that crucial manager talks between Dermot Desmond and interim boss Martin O'Neill have been pushed back - alongside delayed interviews with other candidates in London - the Celtic board is facing major backlash from a fanbase demanded to renew season tickets amidst ongoing administrative limbo. Despite securing a dramatic Premiership and Scottish Cup double, Celtic's campaign was riddled with operational issues, prompting serious questions over who is steering the ship. We discuss:
"It ain't easy having pals." We watched Young Guns (1988) with our good friend Millie De Chirico from the podcast "Dear Movies, I Love You", and we can give you six reasons why the West was so wild in the 1980s: it's our boys Emilio, Kiefer, Lou, Dermot, Casey, and Charlie. In a time where Western movies were in a dry patch, these young men helped breathe life into a dying genre. Photographed like a hair band music video, we're thankful there were power outlets in the Old West to plug in the hairdryers needed to blow out and feather these manes of 80s hair. We discuss our relationships with the six Brat Pack (and Brat Pack adjacent) cast; if any of us have actually seen the original "Young Guns" or just confuse it with "Young Guns 2"; and speculate what new young cast could possibly work in a Young Guns 3.
