The default TV setting you should turn off immediately - and why experts recommend it

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-03-16 18:38:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET For many people, motion smoothing on TVs is only appropriate for gaming and watching live sports; enthusiasts typically prefer turning off the feature to watch anything else because it can detract from the filmmaker's original intent, making on-screen images seem artificial or hyper-realistic. This is what's called the "soap opera effect." Also: How to disable ACR on your TV (and why doing so makes such a big difference) It's a perfectly descriptive metaphor that probably requ

Apple's World Wide Developers Conference, WWDC 2025, took place on Monday and featured a wide variety of reveals from Apple, captured in our live blog of the event. But aside from news about the company's naming changes and design overhauls, there are always moments that get just a little bit weird. How many times can company representatives say the words "Liquid Glass"? Did you expect it to end with a singer crooning app reviews to music, and meowing? Viewers didn't even wait until the 90-minu

Of all the jarring things I’ve witnessed on the National Mall, nothing will beat the image of the first thing I saw after I cleared security at the Army festival: a child, sitting at the controls of an M119A3 Howitzer, being instructed by a soldier on how to aim it, as his red-hatted parents took a photo with the Washington Monument in the background. The primary stated reason for the Grand Military Parade is to celebrate the US Army’s 250th birthday. The second stated reason is to use the even

9 Best 2-in-1 Laptops (2025), Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Luke Larsen 2026-03-20 18:30:00

A 2-in-1 is a laptop that can go from a standard clamshell laptop configuration to a tablet setup. Over the years, there are really two types of designs that fall into this category: the convertible 2-in-1 laptop and the detachable tablet. Laptops with rotating displays—also called convertibles—use a 360-degree hinge that can position the screen flat, in “tent” mode, or flush against the underside of the laptop. Think of this as a touchscreen clamshell laptop with a fancy hinge. The flexibility

Queerness Wasn’t a Consideration in ‘Andor’ Season 2’s Most Controversial Death

When the heist on Ghorman went wrong on Andor season two, it only took one bad call for tragedy to strike. In the case of rebel leader Cinta Kaz (Varadu Sethu), her life was snuffed out in an instant when a misfire took her down. In a story about the early days of Star Wars Rebels uniting against the Empire, anyone was fair game, and it’s something that show creator Tony Gilroy and writer Beau Willimon affirmed in conversation with Vulture, when discussing Cinta’s death as one of the franchise’s

David Harbour Is More Than Ready for ‘Stranger Things’ to Be Over

David Harbour has been acting professionally for over two decades—he was nominated for a Tony in 2005—but his big break came with Stranger Things. Harbour’s portrayal of Sheriff Jim Hopper immediately endeared him to viewers, and over the show’s run we’ve seen Hawkins, Indiana’s top cop morph from boozy sad sack to strict but loving dad to supernatural beastie-fighting hero to Siberian prison escapee, plus a little romantic tension with Winona Ryder’s character on the side.
