TV technology is evolving faster than ever. RGB backlights, SQD, OLED, MiniLED, wild brightness claims. “100% BT.2020.” But frankly, I don’t think TV reviews have fully caught up. Before review season really kicks off, I wanted to explain how I’m approaching TV reviews moving forward — what measurements matter, what marketing claims deserve scrutiny, and why living with a TV matters more than winning a spec-sheet battle.This isn’t about throwing out measurements. It’s about adding context, testing real-world viewing, and figuring out what actually improves your experience when you sit down to watch something. The Hisense UR9, and several other major TVs are next and I can already tell you that things are about to get very interesting. CHAPTERS 00:00 Why this video looks different 00:36 TVs changed fast.
