On this week's show we take a look at the Longevity Burn-In Test Results From 100 TVs that RTINGS.com has been tracking for the last two years. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news.

Full Redesign Review Sports on TV Today: Where to Watch or Stream Games - Sports Media Watch Longevity Burn-In Test Updates And Results From 100 TVs RTINGS.com has been conducting an accelerated longevity test for over two years. We've covered it periodically but haven't provided an update recently. In today's show, we'll summarize the key findings and discuss their implications for consumers. 1. Introduction to the Test Methodology and Purpose RTINGS.com conducts an extensive longevity and burn-in test on over 100 TVs to assess their durability under real-world usage conditions. The purpose is to evaluate how modern displays, particularly OLED and LED models, hold up over time, focusing on issues like image retention and permanent burn-in that can degrade picture quality. The methodology involves running TVs for thousands of hours in a simulated accelerated aging scenario, including static content like CNN tickers, sports scores, and video games to mimic common usage patterns that risk burn-in. Tests are performed in a controlled environment at 50% brightness (except for high-end OLEDs at 100% for stress testing), with periodic photo documentation and measurements of uniformity, color accuracy, and brightness retention. This ongoing project, started in 2019, aims to provide data-driven insights into TV lifespan beyond short-term reviews. 2. Key Results and Findings The test has yielded detailed observations on burn-in susceptibility across various TV brands and panel types, with over 18,000 hours of cumulative runtime as of the latest update. Here's an expanded breakdown: OLED Performance and Burn-In Incidence: OLED TVs, known for perfect blacks but vulnerable to burn-in from static elements, showed mixed results. The LG C8 (2018 model) exhibited permanent burn-in after just 8,850 hours, with visible CNN ticker ghosts in dark scenes, marking it as one of the earliest failures. In contrast, the LG G4 (2024) and Sony A95L (2023) QD-OLEDs remained burn-in free after 5,000+ hours, though minor temporary image retention appeared in high-stress tests. The Samsung S95B QD-OLED burned in after 9,000 hours, displaying HUD elements from racing games, while the LG G2 showed no permanent damage after 14,000 hours but had noticeable retention. LED and Mini-LED Durability: LED TVs generally fared better against burn-in. The TCL QM8 QLED (2023) and Hisense U8/U8N (2024) showed no burn-in after 5,000–7,000 hours, with only temporary retention in extreme cases. However, the Samsung QN90A (2021) developed subtle uniformity issues after 10,000 hours, but no true burn-in. Budget LEDs like the Hisense A6G lasted without issues up to 12,000 hours. Brightness and Color Degradation: Across all panels, brightness dropped by 20–50% over 10,000+ hours; for example, the LG CX lost 40% peak brightness. Color accuracy shifted slightly, with OLEDs maintaining better DeltaE scores (

Brian HuskeyTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Brian Huskey. You know Brian's face from such iconic shows as Veep, Neighbors, Search Party & Mr. Neighbor's House 1 & 2. You know his voice from mega hits like Bob's Burgers, Beavis and Butt-Head, and Central Park. In this episode, we chat about his path to television & film. Brian started making movies in high school with some friends but didn't really pursue it as a career until college. He shares some of that inspiration and some of the moments that let him know that this was a legitimate career option for him. We touch on some of his early work as a writer, as well as his early days as the bass player for a band called Bicycle Face. (Spoiler alert, he lets me play his favorite track from their album). Next, we talk about getting involved with the Upright Citizens Brigade, Naked Babies improv, comedy, and writing his own projects. Mr. Neighbor's House is one of his favorite projects that he has ever been part of. He created it, wrote it, executive produced it, & starred in it. He did the same a few years later with Mr. Neighbor's House 2. I wouldn't be me if I didn't grill him about his previous podcast called Bald Talk! Naturally we discuss his VH-1 television show Free Radio, some of his earliest acting memories, and his upcoming horror film Thinestra. Follow Brian on Instagram and see / hear him on just about everything you watch.

Actor, writer, and director Max Talisman joins The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul to discuss the power of creating inclusive stories, redefining queer romance on screen, and leading with kindness on set of his new film Things Like This. MAX TALISMAN is rapidly emerging as a leading voice in Hollywood, with standout performances in the indie thriller Super Dark Times, the Jennifer Lopez film Marry Me, and hit series including Orange is the New Black, The Blacklist, and Search Party. Now, he makes his highly anticipated directorial debut with Things Like This, a bold reimagining of queer romance that follows two men with the same name as they navigate love and self-discovery in New York City. Starring Joey Pollari (Love, Simon), Jackie Cruz (Orange is the New Black), and Cara Buono (Stranger Things), the film steers away from traditional coming-out or trauma-centered stories, instead embracing humor, complexity, and the universal joy of connection—positioning it as one of 2025's most exciting indie releases.

In 2021, Frontenac native Tara Mahadevan decided to fill a longtime void in media coverage of St. Louis music, arts and lifestyle created by Black people or people of colour by founding the print magazine Search Party. Mahadevan, a Chicago-based music journalist who maintains strong ties to St. Louis, talks about the scope and focus of Search Party Magazine. She also shares why visual representation of St. Louis' racial and ethnic diversity was prioritized in the magazine, especially with its second, music-focused issue. The culture-centered third issue of Search Party is in the works for the latter half of 2025.

George Mpanga, known as George the Poet, is seen by many as one of the UK's most compelling voices in poetry, music, and social commentary. Originally hailing from St Raphael's Estate in Neasden, Mpanga has spent over a decade working at the intersection of art and politics reflecting on his upbringing to shed light on how race and inequality still shape Britain today. His debut poetry collection in 2015, Search Party, tackled the north-south divide, the housing crisis and critiqued government anti-immigration policies, to widespread acclaim. Since then, Mpanga's work has bridged grime, prose, spoken-word performance, and most recently longer-form audio, as he has continued to interrogate the socio-political status quo. In February 2025 he joined us on stage to discuss the themes of his new memoir, Track Record: Me, Music, and the War on Blackness. He discussed his personal story alongside a broader social history of race and identity in Britain, and examined what he terms “the war on Blackness”: the systemic forces that continue to oppress people of African descent worldwide. ----- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

The story so far: Three friends are trapped in an underground movie rental store managed by a magical anthropomorphic mole man, have adventures, and watch movies to pass the time and figure ways out of predicaments. Eric is missing, Moleman is to blame, and Dan and Greg kick off year 5 with a little hoedown of their own! While discussing podcast powerhouse Fred Olen Ray's 1997 film Bikini Hoe-Down (aka Mystery on Makeout Mountain, which is an awful alternate title), we get down to business and wonder why the girls are named after months instead of seasons, debate leaving things to the imagination, remember pay-per-view fuzz, and fantasize about washing machines with big butts. Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we'll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229)Next movie announced every Wednesday. New episodes every Monday.

In this episode, the Indieventure trio ask ourselves a surprisingly complicated question: how do you play video games specifically in January? Do you take the time to go back over some exciting titles from the year before that you still haven't got around to yet, or do you write all that off and start the new year with a blank slate ready to fill up with brand-new releases? Obviously we're all games media types, so our answers are slightly skewed from the norm – listening back, it's only just occurred to me that none of us said "in January I mainly play the games I received for Christmas, of course!" So there's that, but still, the resultant chat should leave you with a pleasant mix of recent and upcoming game recommendations, as well as some drawn from a bit further back. The brand-new indie titles we've been checking out in January 2025 include Cursed Digicam, Eternal Strands, Nurikabe World, The Roottrees Are Dead, and – of course – Citizen Sleeper 2. But we also reach a full five years into the past for a look back on Tangle Tower, and take a peek into the future with the demo for intriguing upcoming game Locator. We end, as always, with our most recent round of hyperfixations. Rebecca has been watching indie horror films again and thinks you should all go and see Presence, which recently got its belated theatrical release after premiering at Sundance a full year ago. Rachel's recent disenchantment with modern cinema has led her to revisit some of the classics from her film school days, which has her feeling enthusiastic about movies again (even as her specific rankings spark some lively debates!). Liam has been reading Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent and does recommend it with some massive caveats, but his actual hyperfixation for a much better time is the dark comedy TV show Search Party.

Daniel Wohl is a Paris-born, LA-residing, award winning composer who has scored many notable TV shows & films, had his works performed publicly by symphonies and has had his solo albums given high marks and praise from New York Times and Pitchfork alike. He's scored multiple seasons of the hit show Search Party, the Mark Ronson show “Watch the Sound” the Morgan Neville-directed docs “They'll Love Me When I'm Dead” and “Shangri-La” as well as Tales of the Walking Dead, Robert Zemeckis' Project Blue Book and many others. In 2023 he composed the score for the art installation Luna Luna and his score with musician Arooj Aftab for the film Rise, Again is currently touring as part of the Sun Dogs series, performed by Alarm Will Sound. I think the relationship between the editor and composer is the most interesting part of post-production, as well as one that is very overlooked. They're often working off of each other, responding to each other, depending on who started first, or how many rounds of revisions are possible within a given timeline. Both are working with their own rhythms and their own ideas for accenting time. So there's a lot of room for either conflict or magic, depending on how synced the two roles are. I've always wanted to talk to another composer about their experiences and once I met Daniel I knew he was a great person to talk to about this subject. So hopefully this is as enjoyable and enlightening for you as it was for me. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cuttingclass/support

Growing up in Nashville with two ministers for parents, John Early's (Search Party, John Early: Now More Than Ever) formative food memories are linked with church, where the sermons were boring but the donuts were plentiful. Plenty of people go out for breakfast after church on Sundays, but not many know that one of America's most beloved brunch foods descended from the wafers placed on tongues in the Catholic church in medieval Europe. John and host Rachel Belle discuss when it's OK and when it's not OK to send a dish back in a restaurant. Then etiquette expert Lizzie Post chimes in with her professional opinion on that and other modern dining dilemmas. John Early is on tour now with his all-new comedy show – click here to get tickets.
