I’ve spent the last three months running color grading sessions, editing short films, and pushing test footage through DaVinci Resolve on eight different OLED TVs. The best OLED TVs for video editing and color accuracy have come a long way in – self-emissive pixels now deliver reference-monitor-level blacks at consumer prices, and QD-OLED panels push … Read more

When the lights go down and the opening credits roll, the TV you pick decides whether you feel like you are in a theater or watching tv. I have spent the last few months testing 4K sets in a darkened home cinema room, switching between 4K Blu-rays, Dolby Vision streams, and the occasional bright-room Sunday-afternoon … Read more

I spent the last six weeks testing eight projectors back-to-back in my living room, my backyard, and a dedicated dark-room setup. My goal was simple: find the best projectors under $1000 that genuinely compete with units costing twice as much.

A white wall gets you maybe 60% of your projector’s potential. A proper screen unlocks the rest. Our team evaluated 8 models side by side, projecting the same 4K … Read more

I have been chasing the “big screen” dream in my living room for years, and the moment I unboxed my first ultra-short-throw projector, I never looked at a 75-inch TV the same way again. A modern UST projector sits a few inches from the wall and fills 100 to 150 inches with crisp 4K, which … Read more

If you teach a film class, run a 60-seat screening room, or just want your K-12 classroom to double as a movie night venue, you already know the pain. The projector that handles a bright slide deck on Monday will judder through a 24fps short film on Wednesday. After spending 30 days side-by-side testing eight … Read more
