Sony has good processing, uh, but still in areas like, uh,

Why do Sony televisions still only have like two HDMI 2.1 ports, whereas LG and Samsung have four?

Because Sony outsources the chip for handling that, and the company that makes the chip hasn't made one that can do four, and it's just...

it's, it's a weird and complicated landscape and I don't really blame Sony for doing what it's done, which is we need a manufacturing partner who can make huge amounts of TVs cheaply and who looks like they have a good technological roadmap.

And, uh, speaking of roadmap, it's time to wake Casey up and, uh, talk about this next one here.

What?

Is that right?

It's like P3, but bigger.

So this is the next salvo here.

And this was an announcement from TCL.

They're saying, okay, we don't have per pixel lighting control, but everyone else is putting colored backlights behind their pixels.

That's bad.

And let me tell you why it's bad.

And we don't have to do that.

We're going to stick with a single color backlight.

Like we always had broken up into little regions, but now our quantum dots about our quantum dots are the things that take like the blue backlight and changed into a red, green, and blue.

Um,

Their quantum dots do that conversion better, allowing more of the color through, which is how I think this is the first I've ever seen of a quantum dot LCD TV.

They can do 100 percent of 2020 BT 2020.

Like historically, I think the only TVs that have come close to that are the QD OLEDs because they don't have the white subpixel.
