Hey everyone. The first-gen 4K Apple TV doesn’t support the codec for KZread HDR, so if the viewer who wrote in with that question has an older device, that could be it. And while you may need the premium tier subscription for KZread TV, regular KZread does not require a premium subscription for 4K or HDR.

How do I know if my Apple TV 4k is first gen?

I’ve had the Apple TV 4K hdr KZread issue. To fix go into settings, video and audio and go to reset video settings. After that then match content and match frame rate.

..Thank you so much for the info Caleb and digitaltrends Team, Very Much Appreciated..

The KZread HDR question might be in reference to movies purchased and played back through the KZread app. Google has disabled HDR for purchased movies on all devices except the Chromecast and Android-based smart TV’s. As someone with a large number of titles owned through Google Play, the removal of this when they removed the Google TV apps is very frustrating.

Wow! I really didn't know this. Thankfully my Chromecast rotates static images when not in use.

Love your videos. I've been looking at TCL and Hisense sound bars (surround sound systems) and haven't seen you mention any of these in any depth. Is that because they aren't very good (possibly vizio has the market cornered)? Much love and appreciation for all you do I'm an avid fan.

Great content as usual. Sound was a bit muffled though compared to normal.

Thanks for covering the Hdmi switcher topic!!

I have the same problem with KZread with my Apple TV 4K latest and greatest. I had to go to settings and change my 4K HDR to 4K SDR and that enables HDR. I have a Sony TV XBR - 55 X930D. I hope this can help other people with this problem.

My question, the Apple Vision Pro uses OLED can the Vision Pro suffer from Burn In?

I have seen LCDs with image retention, what causes this?

I experience a strange image retention issue not burnin from two ASUS IPS monitors. It’s interesting because it doesn’t occur this way on any of my other displays (and I have many). If an image remains on the screen a while (a few hours) there’s what looks like burnin that eventually disappears.

Thanks

Caleb you are a great guy!

Sooooo........for burn in and best at displaying my Xbox Series X(in my basement).... Is there much difference in the TCL 70" S470G 4K UHD LED (IPS panel) and TCL 65" 65Q65OG (quantum dot) QLED? Is the slightly better 65" but more likely to burn in tv worth the trade off of going as big as I possibly can fit in my space as the 70"? If I'm only looking at a slight increase in brightness then I think I'd rather go with the biggest panel I can...

@Caleb_Denison About the 49" Odyssey G9. I recently recommended to someone who has this monitor on a smart power strip to move it to a permanently powered strip. I recommended this because I am under the assumption that the pixel refresh cycle on the G9 runs while the panel is not in use and powered off. I can't find any information on whether I am accurate in my assumption. The OLED G8 has a pixel refresh option but it was removed on the G9. I'm wondering if they run the pixel refresh automatically when the monitor is powered off and no longer notify the end user of the process in the OSD.

I got an Apple TV 4K using it on LG OLED, it switches between different content using QMS-VRR, so some things exported in 30fps will play to that matched frame rate. And I believe you need an HDMI 2.1 to use this feature. So my Apple TV 4K (newest gen) looks and performs great and benefits from a 2.1. This is just from my own personal experience though.

I've always understood LCDs don't burn in. And yet one in the canteen at work has just that much to my surprise. Its often tuned to a radio station that has a static onscreen logo.

They don't get permanent burn-in unless there is an issue with the TCON. What you are seeing is likely threshold voltage shift on the TFT backplane. It would resolve if a random pattern was played for a few days. I am an engineer and design medical devices. We have some in the field displaying the same screen 24/7 for 10 years straight and they actually don't have any burn-in at all.

Hello, can anyone tell me if it is normal for a mini led tv to emit heat, I bought a sony mini led tv 65 inches and hung it on the wall, I can feel the heat, which was not the case with an ordinary lcd smart tv!?

What about an Nvidia Shield on an HDMI 2.1 vs 2.0?

I'm going to have to push back on that "burn in" issue if image retention is part of the standard definition. We have event monitors at the grad school I support and the lobby monitor which is a Samsung LCD panel clearly has image retention. The monitors display a series of scheduled events that stay on the screen for a period of time. The monitors remain powered on 24/7 except during the holidays when we are closed. You can see the school's logo and other readable portions remain on the screen when other slides come up. It's very noticable depending on the color of background a slide uses. We've been using these monitors for years. So 24/7 for probably almost 10 years is a ton of runtime to be left powered on. I don't think too many actually pay attention though.

Studios have to reinvest in a ton of cameras and production equipment too. They recently did that with 4k and don’t want to do it again.

Apple TV 4k+Airpods for bedroom, its a very convincing surround sound without all the space/expense trade off to setup full theater

Why doesn't TV manufactures make a good 32 inch LCD TV? Not crappy VA or TN.

I'm pretty sure the newest Apple TV 4K supports Adaptive Sync with HDMI 2.1

on that satellite point, just see if your provider has a smart tv app and not even worry about the box on one, or even both tv's

Definitely upgrade from one's to 300's..... they fill the space perfectly, you can no longer hear the speaker directly, meaning that your ear isn't drawn to the exact spot the speaker is in. I suspect this is why the centre drive is disabled when set up as a surround.

Nice

Do you have another KZread channel your voice sounds like on the channel be amazed.

He's a handsome boy, that Caleb 😂😂

You technically could get "burn in" on LCD TVs for basically the same reason you can on plasma and OLED. As he correctly said burn in is actually caused by some pixels wearing out faster than others. That is because the light source loses brightness as they are used. Since LCD TVs today have local dimming with many zones it is possible the LED backlight can be used more in certain parts of the screen. Since LEDs also lose brightness as they are used you definitely could end up with a situation where some of those LEDs are no longer as bright as other LEDs. Since LEDs age much more slowly and don't have an individual LED for every single pixel it would take a lot longer to happen and probably wouldn't manifest the same way but the same type of thing can still happen.

ERA 300 for surrounds changes the Sonos soundbar experience tremendously. However they overpower the ARC. Sonos needs to ship a new centerpiece soundbar that leapfrogs the new audio from their ERA’s

Don't know about burn-in or burn-out but some LCDs are actually even more susceptible to Image Retention than OLEDs. Using black frame insertion for 60FPS content on a 120Hz display can easily cause static images to remain visible for several minutes. Whereas on my LG C1 OLED, it never happens.

Awnser to that is no. Still got my 2017 Sony LED tv and no burn in or whatsoever. Its still a great tv

Technically there is one benefit to HDMI 2.1 on the Apple TV: it supports QMS.

I disagree on the Apple TV part. Mine has to be connected via HDMI 2.1 because it outputs surround via PCM, and that usually means HDMI 2.1.

At 32 inches and less, a monitor is better that a TV. You cannot find a 32 inch TV that is not crappy VA panel.

Coming from a basshead with many subwoofers I have found the Earfun Air Pro 3 earbuds for $55 on sale at Amazon very satisfying for bass etc. in an earbud. Better than most of my wired headphones after going into the app and adjusting the manual eq.

By the way, feeling LFE on headphones would be unhealthy either for your ears or for your brain.

My Sony 900h led tv got burn in after 2 years of moderate use. So yea… burn in does happen on LED tvs

you can get bad leds... in edge list they look over bright on the edge, on full array you may get them everywhere.

Surprised that digital trends doesn’t know about KZread hdr problems…match hdr and frame rate DOES not match hdr on KZread…you need to force hdr on all the time, then deal with those issues…been know for a long time, not so on the cube, which is why I use that on KZread…I assumed they fixed it but I guess not.

You are more likely to have back light failure or malfunctioning local dimming than have burn in a LCD TVs especially in budget or mid range sets also you are better off purchasing your Smart TV at Best Buy than at Walmart I have never purchased a Tv from Walmart that hasn't malfunctioned long before it should have which is just after the warranty expires!

Definitely *can* get burn in - or burnout, or whatever you'd call it (image retention) - on any TV. I bought an LED Vizio more than 10 years ago that sometimes doubled as a second monitor and it got burn-in/image retention from some photo editing software I had used, right across the entire top of the screen. You couldn't usually see it except in very bright scenes and you were looking for it, but in that situation, and if you got very close, you could still actually make out some of the editor settings. Don't think I had owned the TV for more than a year at the time, and okay, I maybe wasn't using it for its "intended" use, but it's not like I left that editing software on for hours at a time.

I have an LCD/LED that has some weird burn in/burn out in the upper right corner. I had a classic plasma for nearly 25 years that never got any burns & and OLED currently that’s so far good despite my son pausing games etc w/out a screensaver coming on. I made sure that doesn’t happen again as soon as I was aware of it. Of course this doesn’t make me throw caution to the wind. In fact I baby my TVs.

They aren't. Sony TVs are actually very competitive with other bands today, but you will see certain models that are more expensive than others depending on where they are in Sony's TV lineup. Sony makes an entire range of TVs from their entry-level "foundation" model, the X77L, to the King of TVs, the A95L (rated as the best TV in the world for 2023 in two separate head-to-head shootouts). Sure, you might pay slightly more for a Sony depending on the model you select, but the old saying really does turn out to largely be true in the TV space: You get what you pay for! You'll never regret buying a high-quality product from a brand with a great reputation.

They do burn in I have two tv’s to prove it

I think using hdmi2.1 with Apple TV indeed does have a benefit, even though it’s a very small one. I think it has a feature where when you use hdmi 2.1 with it on a tv that has 4k120hz, it will allow the apple tv to switch framerate between 30 60 etc without having the usual black screen

My old 1080p tv from 2013 has a lot of burn-in. It's LED and the LED lights inside the screen fall off too. All the Samsung TVs eventually have their lights fall off. When that happens you end up with an annoying bright light that beams out of the screen. It's distracting and hard to ignore.

I've been exposed to all kinds of different musical genres. I was raised. With the earliest recording technologies. And rode the wave of the modern ones. Working for the companies that made this stuff. Produced, this stuff. Made famous. This stuff. And I also designed, built and fixed. This stuff. For over 50 years. That's one half a century long I've been doing this. When I discovered this faux pas of this technical anomaly. Back in 1978. But hearing it for the first time in 1968. And being too young to understand at only 12 years of age. But I knew I had just heard something unique and unusual.. From a speaker demonstration of a JBL,, 4310 model speaker. My dad took me to. Because he wanted to hear it. And I had heard other speakers like, Klipsch, RCA, Electro-Voice. I was struck. At the difference I heard. At only 12 years of age. But I knew I was going to make this a career for myself. I was raised in, Recording Studios, TV & Radio Stations by my father. And my grandfather. And so I had a natural propensity for this. And made it my lifelong career for over five decades. And I did real good. Just not financially. Like everybody else. Only a few get to be wealthy. A few lucky winners. The rest of us got to enjoy what we did and made a living. Thankfully, made a decent living. Unions work. Ask all the folks out in Hollywood who are not movie actors. They could afford to live in Los Angeles. Because they were working for movie actress. And everybody was in the union. Of various unions. I ended up working for, RCA under the NBC banner. And I did that for, 20 years. And oh by the way. Companies like RCA/NBC. They only hired the best engineers in the world. And they hired me in 1981. I resigned just prior to the Big Bang we know as 9/11/2001. But when that happened. I picked up the phone and called NBC-TV News and told them. I'm not only ready. To jump back into action for you. I also had a strange, encounter. With the Terrorists. That are responsible for 9/11/2001. Yes I kind of knew the basturd's. This is no joke. For 2 weeks running. I was taking a computer video editing course. And every day at lunch. I would go into this same place a bar restaurant down the street. Always bumping into these Arab guys. That would joke with me when I came in. I thought they were good guys. Living the American Dream. They came over from that Middle Eastern hellhole. To become Americans. And they understood American humor. Which not all foreign nationals can get. And months later. They did the deed. When they were identifying them on TV. I'm looking at Mohammed Atta's clean-shaven face. And I thought he looked really familiar to me. And no it can't be? It unfortunately was. It was him. It was them. A big table of guys. All looking very Muslim except for him. He was dressed quite business American... His other cohorts were not. They were looking very Muslim. And certainly not speaking in English. Most of us at this bar restaurant were Caucasian and Black and/or Cubano. Nobody can understand a word they are saying at their table. At this Fern Bar/Restaurant. On the, Hollywood Circle. In Hollywood, Florida. The other Hollywood in the USA on the East Coast. Halfway between Fort Lauderdale and Miami where they lived. I lived in Fort Lauderdale at that time. Working for an, National Advertising Agency. In charge of all of their audio and video production. And we got this computer video Avid, Media Composer Editing System. And I had to get up to speed on this thing. Taking this course in Hollywood, Florida. For a couple of weeks. I later found out. They were taking their flying lessons out of Fort Lauderdale international Airport. In the mornings. And on their way back to Miami. They would stop in Hollywood, Florida. On the Circle. And drop into this restaurant bar for lunch. Where I would bump into them every day for 2 weeks. And we would joke with each other.. When I came in the door. As I'm rather outgoing. At, Bars. It's fun. It's lunchtime. Everybody appeared to be having a good time including them. Affter I realized. These were the same guys I knew. Like a Good American Citizen. I picked up the phone and called the FBI. I told them everything I knew about these guys. And that they understood, American Humor.. Which I thought was significant. And I felt the FBI should know that about them. And to help protect us all in the future. And maybe it's what I said to the FBI about them.. That the TSA now considers us all potential terrorists at the airports? I don't know? I know I used to like to fly. Until then. And I flew a lot. I flew every week between Washington DC and Fort Lauderdale Florida. For nearly a year. Every week. Before this happened. And I bailed on the job in Florida. I instantly made myself Unemployed. I don't want to fly anymore. If I can't drive it? I'm not going. As I had also been involved in a tragic, plane crash I covered for NBC. I was the closest person to the Air Florida Flight 90 crash into the Potomac River. I was on scene for 18 hours straight. Howard Stern got fired from, Washington radio,, DC-101. And I got, extreme exposure. And the next few days off. Then Howard got rehired with a huge raise in New York City. And became the famous guy we know today. As he got fired. For calling up the airlines. Asking them. If there stewardesses offered, coffee, tea or ice water? Harr heart heart heart! And how much is a one-way ticket to the 14th St., Bridge? Harr Harr Harr Harr! He got fired for that. I got exposure. From being outside for 18 hours. Recording eyewitness accounts and interviewing the cops, first responders, rescue divers. When I was also watching what appeared to be a stewardess. In the process of drowning. And I'm thinking to myself. If I run into the water to save her. I will likely die in the attempt.. As this other guy went running by me and did just that! It was Lenny Skutnik. And I thought this guy is going to die in front of my eyes with her. He almost did. But he saved her... And made it out with his life. Oh my God. And I was right there. It changed me. But I continued to fly. Up until 9/11/2001. I flew a couple of times thereafter because I had to. I did not enjoy it anymore. And they pack the planes, much too full. You've got less of a chance of surviving. And now we have these Evil Homo sapiens. That are wreaking havoc all over the world. And for what? We are very sheltered here in the USA. We do not understand this worldwide uprising and attacks? What's it all about? What's it all for? What do they hope to achieve? Well?

Other people only fancy, themselves, that. And they got a dead sheepskin with scribbling on it to show you! See!? It's got scribbling on it! I'm an expert! I got a sheepskin! And Remy doesn't! That's right I don't. I didn't need one. I went to this place called a Library. It's filled with lots of books you can read for free! I don't need to pay a college professor to tell me what books to read about Audio. I can read them all. I've read them, all. Some have mistakes in them. Those are called stupid typographical errors. By stupid people. That didn't do their proofreading right. DUH? That must take talent? How were they supposed to know? People are funny. People are stupid. People are cultish. I'm not into cults.. To me they are total bullshit. To most they are total bullshit. But to empty headed people? It's right! Especially when you can blame somebody else, for your problems! Like Jews. Like the Irish. Like Muslims. Like the Italians. Like the Hindi's and the Buddhists. They both represent the wrong Jesus! Not my Jesus. Not your Jesus. But their, Jesus! It can only be, their Jesus and nobody else's Jesus! And they all go Mad. They all go insane. Then they need to lash out and attack others. To protect their Jesus. From an attack by a nefarious faction that does not believe in their Jesus! Therefore they must die! Yes we are very civilized. Like Conan the Barbarian. Which must've meant? That he was Armenian? No? Well it was on TV and it was true! And I believe in Conan the Barbarian. Not the talkshow host. He's Irish. And he is a Dork. With stupid hair. As its bleached. He's all gray. But not for TV! I mean he's in his 70s. Along with a facelift. Because he is a Brand he is Shtick. At you have to keep that image up. Regardless of age. I mean he's an old man now. I'm 68 he's older than me. And he still looking like he's, 35? Really? I'm sure he goes to those good Hollywood plastic surgeons. All these TV people do. It's all a tax deduction. Where Michael Jackson wanted, too many, tax deductions. And kept on cutting off his own nose. Despite, his own face. Until he was left with nothing else to cut off. And no other Hollywood plastic surgeon would touch him again. Like the last one who was on a TV talk show. He said no way Michael not again. They can't give you back that which you cut off. By paying us to do so. We didn't keep the scraps. We can't give your cute little nose back, ever again. So Michael Jackson got pissed-off with that. And decided to get a, Full Face Transplant. And is now living a completely, Normal Life. The likes of which he's never had before. Now as the Woman, of his Dreams. As the white woman of his dreams. Walking the streets of the French Riviera. You wouldn't know it. Even bumping into him. Because he is now a white woman. Living out his fantasy. As a normal white woman. And I can tell you. It takes one to know one. And I'm not going to the French Riviera. Anytime soon. To see if I can find him? I'd be looking for a strange looking white woman with larger than normal hands. He does not have small hands like Donald Trump. His hands are sizable. Aunt look strange on a woman. What the hell happened to you girl? I played in a tortilla factory when I was younger. Oh? Anything can happen today. As we now have Artie Fecal Intelligence! RemyRAD

And so for those of you that love the immersive experience of earphones/headphones. I recommend. You also turn on your, Subwoofer. Then you will enjoy your earphones/headphones all the more. You will feel the concussive kicks. That you are missing. And those speakers don't make much sound actually. It's all low stuff. So it won't wake the baby. With symbols crashing. And the ones made out of metal. And a whack of a snare drum. That will wake the dead. And some black lady singing a high note. That will wake the baby. The subwoofer won't. That's what the kid heard in the womb. It'll think it's home again. And will remain quiet. Since you already have your earphones on. And won't hear the kid crying. With full diapers. You'll be able to enjoy your recording. With the thumping. Can thumping be done about it? Only if you use speakers and not earphones. And keep the volume low. So you can hear when baby is crying. But go ahead and use your subwoofer. When you have your headphones/earphones on. For a much better listening experience. It makes the difference. You don't hear it as much as you feel it. Also in your car the same way. Not enough room. For those low notes to propagate properly and bloom. Inside the little cab of your car. So you can't hear the low end in your car. You can only feel it. We can hear the low end outside your car. Because the low frequency waves can propagate and bloom.. And we can hear you from 3 blocks away. You can't hear that. You can only feel that. In your car. Just so you know. And it does not help.. That all the speakers in your car are phased in Negative Absolute Polarity. That helps even less. You are sucking the sound away from you with thousands of watts of power. That's white you also can't hear it. It sucks the air out of your cab area. And you are probably getting hypoxic from it? As it literally takes your breath away. By sucking away from you. It makes it harder to breathe. In your car with the windows up. Roll down your windows. Let everybody enjoy what you are listening to. As your car has become an external vibrating Dome Speaker. Because your speakers are in negative absolute polarity. I think it's very funny. It's not funny. But it is funny. With all you lame brains. Going through this Acoustic Tragedy. Because of course my speakers are not that way. And I've turned all of my friends onto this with fine studios. It's a game changer. It's a life changer. I am one of those Recording Studio Fixer Guys. And you've heard all of these stories before. And wondered what they were all about? This is the most significant one. That everybody gets wrong. And I mean everybody. 99% of everybody get this wrong. It's a tragic comedy at best. And I keep hearing this wherever I go. Big rock 'n' roll shows. Negative Polarity Speakers. They make it sound good. As good as they can. But it's all sucking away from the crowd. And they make it loud enough to just overwhelm your senses. Because the sound is not really coming toward you. You are merely hearing it's rebound from in front. It's negative rebound. As it directs the sound toward the back of the speaker cabinet. It's very stupid. Incredibly stupid. As most of these guys all have college degrees now. And they are taught this wrong. To get their degrees. And some of them. I have had to teach, otherwise. And they can hear the difference. When I give them an, A-B, comparison. And the dumbfounded looks on their faces. And comments like… I never thought about it before that way? You're right! Yes I am. Yes JBL was. I have JBL to thank for this. I knew I was personally on the right path. Designing and building control rooms. And then I purchased a pair of JBL's. And found out they were out of phase to all other speaker manufacturers, speakers. And that they are phasing. Fell, more in-line, with my hearing. And I had them wired according to the instruction manuals. And they sounded right. But when I did that with other speakers. They didn't hit me the same way. And when I flipped the polarity on them. Now they sounded right to me. Hmmm? I wondered what the hell was going on? And being an expert recording engineer myself. I had to think through the process entirely. Exactly what is going on. What is phasing? What is polarity? Are they the same? Are they different? They are both based upon the same premise. But they are different. In the land of Pro Audio. I see it as phase.. Are, small voltage and timing differences. Mostly between microphones. Where the Polarity. Can only be established. Where the Power. Can move. Heavy cardboard speakers. That has to move the air. And which way should that be moving? Which initial direction should it take? The battery test. Tells you the phasing of the speaker. You must determine the Polarity. And which way it shall initially be moving. Which can only be established. At the output of the audio power amplifier to the direct input of the speaker. That's the only place. Where Absolute Polarity, can be established. At the speaker connection. That's going to move the air. And you think it should be protruding out toward you. When in fact. It is sucking away from you in front of you. And you think it's going in the opposite direction. Flip the polarity. And you will hear that it's not! It's easy to hear the difference. And so there's a big problem with all, Subwoofers also. Those feature and input, phase inversion switch! Ta-da! Which changes the input phase. It does not change. The output polarity of the speaker. That is still in negative, absolute polarity. That remains the same. It does not change. By changing the phase at the input. And so you are subwoofers are all sucking! You have to open the speaker box. And reverse the connection on the speaker. Now it'll be working right. And you still have that phase switch at the input. Now it will work right! As that changes the input phase. To your liking. It does not change the output polarity. That remains the same. Now corrected.. And in Positive Absolute Polarity toward you. And so the Dolby ATMOS bullshit. Is really, a digital effects processor box. It's a sound effect box. Making with small digital time delays. And making audio sound like scrambled eggs. Which is still delicious. But it is no longer sunny side up. With a beautiful yellow yolk in the center. Surrounded by the white part of the egg. Now it's scrambled. It's homogenized. And it still tastes like an egg! Because it is. But it's in a different form. Where some people prefer scrambled to sunny side up and vice versa. Because that is not a speaker. That is a piece of sustenance from a bird. And it's right. Anyway you fix it. Because it's not Audio. It's an egg from a chicken. Buck buck buck buck. But chickens cost very little to maintain. Even though they keep talking about money.. That's all they talk about! So I don't hang out with a lot of chicken shit's. I eat them. Generally fried. I do not eat speakers. You shouldn't either. Just get a pair and connect them correctly. Not according to the incorrect, user manual. As I think it could be some kind of professional marketing joke? To never make you happy with your purchase. Looking to sell those and seek out others. Never getting to that nirvana you seek in sound. Because everybody's speakers are working backwards together and in phase. And everybody thinks they got it right. And everything is normal. It must be something else like the acoustics? Maybe you need a better amplifier? Maybe you need a better preamplifier? Maybe you should switch from cable COAX to, Telco Fiber? And the price just keeps going up. It's a perfect storm. They got you! They can keep bleeding you on. To keep purchasing new better more crap! To keep them in business longer. Lining their pockets. With crap called Dolby ATMOS. It's the new Quadra-Phonic everybody's going to want! (More Fecal Audio in following post)

Well here's my take. On Surround Sound, in your home. As I am a Top Professional Audio Engineer and Studio Fixer. Now retired. At my take on Surround Sound is? It's a Total Sham. When you realize. 5.1 Dolby Surround and Dolby ATMOS. Was just, more marketing blather and nonsense. No different from, 1974, Quadra-Phonic! It's all terrible, technical murdering of your audio. Couple that with the fact. That all speakers. That you have. They are in,, Negative Absolute Polarity. When everybody thinks they are in Positive Absolute Polarity. They are not. Everybody got this wrong. Everybody got this backwards. Everybody with a college degree. Every electrical engineer and every acoustic engineer. Gets this equation, backwards. It's amazing! Amazingly moronic! Because nobody could think this through adequately or correctly. But they got their college degrees! And they can prove they are right! With a simple little test. Using a 9 Volt Battery! And while that test is correct. Their answer is, inverted! It's incredibly mindless! As they did not consider something. When they figured this out. They neglected to include, the microphones used. In their equation. And what the microphone diaphragms are doing? When a sound pressure wave blasts into the microphone diaphragm. They do not defy Physics. And the microphone diaphragms do not protrude outward. Toward the sound pressure wave blasts hitting it. Nope! No. The microphone diaphragms are being pushed inward. Into the body of the microphone. As the sound pressure wave blasts into the diaphragm of the microphone. And they are making the speakers, Mimic, the motion of the diaphragms of the microphones. Which they never considered in their mathematical equations. With their college degrees in electrical engineering and acoustic engineering. They all get this wrong. It's amazingly mindless. They could not think this through! This is an issue I considered to be. The worst technical FUCK UP. In Pro Audio History. The worst! I have had to correct,, numerous Recording Studios.. Both Big and small. Radio stations, TV stations, you name it. All speakers are wired in Negative Absolute Polarity. Except for one manufacturer! That was able to think everything through correctly. And thus. Made certain. There speakers would be in Absolute Positive Polarity. And that speaker company is, JBL of Los Angeles, California. Founded in 1948. And JBL speakers, you will find. They are out of phase. To all other speaker manufacturers, speakers. And why is that? It's because they thought this through correctly. And realized. All the other knuckleheads out there with their electrical engineering and acoustic engineering degrees. Have all made this mistake. This stupid beginner clueless, mistake. Because they think they are right. They are adamant. That they are right. They are not! They are wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! And so you sleepy little fools. Will find. You can have Total Immersion Surround Sound. From just 2 speakers. That's right. Just 2 speakers. You don't need, 4 or 6 or 14.. You only need 2 speakers. Because when you have them connected. Correctly. In, Absolute Positive Polarity. You will find. You are completely surrounded and enveloped. By the sound from only 2 speakers. Your Stereo Spectrum has now gotten incredibly wide. In phase, in polarity and wide. The sound is all around you. It's in front of your face. You can practically see it. It's all around you like never before. For those of you that need to hear things behind yourself. Yeah. You'll need some Surround Speakers. Like 2 in the back. And when they are wired for, Positive Absolute Polarity. Which they are currently not, mind you. You will then have more effective surround. And it'll be okay. If your speakers are actually behind you? If they are not? You'll be getting the wrong timing cues. But you will still be completely Surrounded by the sound. When the speakers are wired for Absolute Positive Polarity. Which your speakers are not. That's right. If you follow your instructions. You will be wiring your speakers for Negative Absolute Polarity. Which you do not want. And to circumvent that issue? It's very simple. Even a Caveman could do it. Or purchase insurance from Geico. Which will do nothing for your sound either. Because even your car speakers are wired in Negative Absolute Polarity. Everything is. Everybody has made this mistake with a college degree. It's absolutely mindless. It is truly unconscionable. No conscience was used at all and figuring out the wiring ffor the speakers. Which they all got backwards. No. Your speakers are not out of phase. They are in phase together. But they are in Negative Absolute Polarity, together while in phase. This is what they have all gotten wrong. This one stupid thing. Nobody could wrap their minds around correctly. Why is that? Likely… A strict religious upbringing. Because nobody will question Gospel! Their Audio Bible Gospel, can't be wrong! This is what happens. When people want to believe in fairytales. Thinking it's real life. It isn't. It's a fairytale. A good fairytale we should all live by. But a fairytale,, just the same. And that can be, questioned. Because it's not real. It's a fairytale. Was there little red riding hood? Was there Jack and the beanstalk? Did 3 bears live in a cabin and sleep in beds? I don't think so. Neither should speakers be connected backwards. By little electrical engineering children that believe in fairytales. Yeah that's not right. And so all of these morons have basically made a mathematical error. But can prove their error is right! They can show you the math! Their math is correct. But they got the speaker inverted! And so when all of your speakers are wired for Negative Absolute Polarity. You're going to need a lot of them. Totally surrounding you. So that you are always closest to the speaker. You couldn't ordinarily here. Because it was wired in negative absolute polarity. And that means the speakers are sucking away from you. Not protruding out toward you. They are moving in reverse of the way they should be moving. Because people got their math wrong, correctly. And they're convinced they are right! And they have the right Jesus and you don't have the right Jesus. They have a better Jesus then your Jesus. They've got the right Jesus. You got the bad Jesus. What you do with Homo sapiens like that? I can try to prove them wrong. They will show everybody their fancy mathematics and declare themselves right! And if everybody agrees with them? Then they must be right! Yeah no. Audio does not work that way. And that's a Cult. They have turned audio into a cult.. To declare they are right! Even if it's backwards. They don't care! They are right! Their Electrical Engineering Genius, told them so! He's an electronic preacher he can't be wrong he's got a college degree! (More Jesus Audio in following post)

Any tv can get burn in. Don't believe me? Find an airport with an old CRT monitor showing departures and arrivals...

That's an extreme use case example. There are panels that exhibit image retention/persistence and burn in that are subject to far less usage.
