01:57:00 - Daniel: Did We Undersell Sony?
Sony's X95L & X93L really impressed him in Best Buy's showroom. Can they beat OLED? Can TCL keep up? And why are external devices needed for fixing HDMI issues?

02:08:23 - Eric: Better Than IMAX?
Dune: Part 2 was breathtaking. But not the black levels & contrast. Why don't all TV shows fill your whole screen? Repositioning a pair of subs. And should you always use High Lamp mode for HDR?
