Why you should buy the TCL Q5 Series

The TCL Q5 Series is a perfect example of what makes TCL stand out as a TV brand: Even when the cost is super-low, they’re selling a well-made QLED set that delivers the kind of brightness, colors, and contrast normally reserved for higher-priced models. The Q5 Series is a 4K TV, too, and TCL’s picture upscaling is nothing to shake a stick at. Whether you’re watching basic cable or an older non-HD movie, the Q5 will use its extra pixels to get you as close to 4K pictures as possible!

The Q5 supports all major HDR formats, including HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision. As far as connections go, there are three HDMI ports for your AV components, and one of them is an eARC connection. Google TV and Chromecast are available, too, and the TV even supports Alexa and Google Assistant. Use the digital companions to search for movies and shows, open apps, control smart home devices, and more. 

Gamers will also be pleased to learn that the Q5 Series supports ALLM and AMD FreeSync, which means you should have no issues with lag and ghosting. And last but not least: You’ll be able to enjoyBluetooth Personal Audio by linking a pair of Bluetooth headphones to the Q5 for isolated audio. 

We’re not sure how long this offer is going to last, so it’s best to take advantage while you still can: Save $200 on the TCL 55-inch Q5 Series when you purchase through Best Buy. And be sure to check out the other great Prime Day deals we found!

Your next song could soon carry an AI warning label, and the music industry is all for it
AI isn't the problem anymore. Knowing it's AI is.
AI tag imagined with AI

The music industry's battle with artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. After spending the past two years fighting AI companies in court and pushing back against unauthorized training on copyrighted music, record labels are now turning their attention to something far simpler: transparency. A coalition representing major record labels, artists, and music organizations wants streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to clearly tell listeners when a song has been created with artificial intelligence.

The proposal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as AI-generated music becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from songs created by human artists. Rather than banning AI music altogether, the industry is arguing that listeners deserve to know what they're hearing before they hit play.

YouTube just gave Partner Program creators the episodic infrastructure that Netflix has been using to keep audiences hooked for years.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

If you're in the YouTube Partner Program and you’ve been organizing your videos into playlists while praying that the algorithm and your audience notice, then Shows is the upgrade you've been waiting for.

Built for the stage, not the daily commute
