LG’s 2025 OLED TVs are its best yet — but they risk going overboard with AI

Image: LG

At least when it comes to making TVs, LG can seemingly do no wrong. Year after year, the company’s OLED sets are at the top of most reviewers’ recommendation lists. They’ve overcome the Achilles’ heel of older models — brightness — thanks to clever innovations like Micro Lens Array, which made the G3 and last year’s G4 bright enough to make HDR shine in any viewing environment.

Bryce Young pulled a Stephen Curry and celebrated his touchdown before it was caught

Bryce Young’s comeback story keeps getting better.

One of the sneakiest storylines of the NFL season has been Bryce Young getting his career back on track after getting benched early in the season by the Carolina Panthers. The former No. 1 overall pick looked like he was done in Carolina when he lost his starting job to Andy Dalton, but Young eventually returned to the lineup, and has been fantastic since.

Young has thrown a touchdown pass in 10 straight games after getting on the...

The Bears’ fake catch punt return trick play worked flawlessly vs. the Packers

The Chicago Bears are simply playing out the string after another disastrous season as they take on the Green Bay Packers in the season finale.

Midway through the first quarter, the Bears ran a trick play on a punt return,...
