Today is the one - twelvemonth day of remembrance of You Asked ! That ’s 52 uninterrupted weeks , and it feels like a cool milestone . So let ’s take a look back on the year that was , answer some more questions , and give some stuff aside !
Now in gild to ensure we produced a show every unmarried week , we ’ve had to get creative . And the most memorable social occasion were when we had to tape the show while away from the studio . The first remote You Asked recording took position in Tokyo . The next remote shoot was in Las Vegas during CES . I be intimate how we were able to get The Sphere in the background for that one .
Some folks have asked me to utter about the most memorable inquiry I got for this show . And , right or haywire , one thing immediately pops into my mind . And it was n’t even a dubiousness .
A viewer named Jenn Orr write :
My married man love your mental object so you ’re on my TV a lot . I noticed it look like you may have a tubercle on the right side of your thyroid . Just thought you should get it checked out if you have n’t already .
Now , at first I was like … “ Wow ! Either Jenn has some eagle eyes , or they are watching on a huge TV . ” ( peradventure a bit of both ? ) Anyway , I did not convulse this question aside . I checked myself out and was like “ Huh ! Yeah , there is something going on there . ” So I ante up my doc a sojourn and while it turn out the honest-to-god thyroid is doing just all right , I did notice something else on that sojourn , and we took maintenance of it right forth . Here I ’m judge to aid you out , and y’ all are helping me out . So , give thanks you , Jenn !
Now , let ’s do a few questions , and then we ’ll get to the giveaway portion of this anniversary variation . There ’s a TV involved , by the way .
Is there any TV without the bloat?
Marco writes : I ’m depend toward buying a new idiot box , but I ’m turned off by the amount of bloat the software has these daylight . experience to make accounts and suffer ads bear witness every time I start it up is plaguey . I use my idiot box like a monitor for the committed PC and PlayStation mostly . Any suggestions on brands / OS types that are airless to twist - on - and - go ?
The Google TV political platform make it possible to have the telly like a shot tune in to the last - used HDMI stimulus , so that every time you turn on the TV , you ’re look at whatever is connect , and not the Google telly o . It ’s still waiting in the background , but you really only have to see it when switching comment , or peradventure if you decide to curb for an update , assuming you do n’t have auto update turned on . Also , you’re able to sort of set up Google TVsto control without logging into your Google account . This does n’t change anything about the way it looks — it just does n’t have you logged in . I know Sony and TCL video admit this , and I am pretty sure Hisense TVs do as well . So you ’ve got options .
Which Bravia is best?
Mike is have trouble deciding between the Bravia 7 and 9 and feel they are very confining in performance . Mike then tries to trick me into telling him whether to get an 85 - inch Bravia 7 or a 77 - column inch Bravia 8 . Very clever , Mikey ! And he cite that he would like to see a comparison between the Bravia 7 , 8 , and 9 .
The functioning difference between the Bravia 7 and 9 are going to be pretty nuanced for most viewer . And the Leontyne Price deviation between the Bravia 7 and Bravia 9 is going to be hard to justify based strictly on moving-picture show lineament dispute . But the Bravia 9 does n’t just denigrate blooming , it also does well with shadow item ( most of the prison term ) , and it also punches up HDR highlights while maintain overall demarcation a chip safe than the 7 . It ’s nuanced for most folk , so the Bravia 7 would be the better call .
Now you tried to trick me by asking whether I would in person corrupt a 77 - in Bravia 8 OLED or an 85 - inch Bravia 7 , which is both an OLED - versus - mini - lead question and a big TV - versus - liberal TV head . My preference are n’t your orientation , but you ’re the one endeavor to trick me here , so yeah , I ’d buy the Bravia 8 .
