Next Sunday, the Chiefs and Eagles face off in New Orleans. Do you want to make the big game even bigger? Here's Eric Landskronner with Tech Check. Back here with John Velasco, senior editor over at Tom's Guide, and we're going over some viewing options to up your Super Bowl Sunday game. Let's start on the end where John is. That is the Nebula Cosmos 4KSE. They use this hybrid beam tech is what they call it. It's just another way of saying it's got a dual light source laser and LED. This is super sharp. It's bright, brilliant, projects an image up to 200 inches. That's a lot and really smooth frame rate because of the uh the refresh rate and. You could take this one outside. It doesn't have its own built-in battery, so you got to run an extension cord, but portable carrying handle there at the top, very convenient to move in and not bring it all around the house. It's all about taking this one from room to room. You have one of the latest here from LG. This is the LG Cinbeam Q. Love design, compact, portable. You would project from 50 to 120 inches. It only has 500 lumens of brightness, so I would probably say a small room, not really the living room. an office would be great. The thing I love about it is that it's. Easily to change the aspect even if you have it projecting sideways or onto the ceiling, it will automatically correct. And even if you have a weird, you know, color for your walls, you don't have completely white, it will adjust the color temperature so you get those picture perfect accurate colors every time. Find more and more projector companies are doing that now when you're not using an actual movie screen. Uh listen, projectors are mind blowing if you want a screen over 100 inches, but it's also hard to resist the latest generation of flat screen. TV. So let's take a look at what we got on the other side of the studio. These are getting more and more vivid and mesmerizing with every new iteration. This is the Hisense U8N. It's a 75 incher. The company calls this the best premium value, and John can attest to this. Having it here and what you're seeing on camera doesn't necessarily do it justice because this is up to 3000 nits of peak brightness. They say it's got up to 2000 dimming zones for deeper contrast. It's a mini LEDL. LED 144 Hz panel. That's that's great for gamers. That's great because then you see all the ash and the movement. It's amazing in terms of the vibrant colors. Got this Dolby Vision HDR anti-glare low reflection technology also on the sound 5 speaker, 50 watt max power set up there. So pretty amazing. I've seen this 75 inch for about 1300 on sale lately as well. All right, John, stick around because we're gonna go over some of the latest phones that have come out recently in our next segment.

Back here with John Velasco, senior editor at Time's Guide, and this time we are looking at some of the latest phones on the market, starting with Samsung's newest flagship this year. Samsung's focused on a lot on AI. Galaxy AI features. It's big again with this one. The phone knows about you. There's this thing called the personalized data engine that they're doing. What time is the Super Bowl and please put it on my calendar. OK, I'm adding an event to your calendar for 6:30 p.m. on February 9th called Super Bowl. And it does. That's exactly what it is. It's going to help you streamline your task. It knows where you're at, knows what you want to do, and you know it'll be interesting to see how they develop that because right now they only have two third party apps that support that, but the more it grows, the better it's going to become. And also great cameras too. They upgraded just one of the cameras. You have the 200 megapixel main camera. You have now that upgraded 50 megapixel ultra wide, so better lowlight performance and also for macro photography. Yeah, and I mean otherwise the design a little bit different. The edges are. Or a little bit flatter, easier to hold by some accounts. Yeah, it's definitely lighter than last year's. They have that titanium frame and they, as you said, they rounded the corners. It just makes for a lighter packet. That screen though is amazing. Every year the screen gets better and better. Absolutely. Here we have the 1 + 13 and the 13R. You've had hands on time with this and you've taken quite a number of pictures with it. It's the best flagship value right now. It has a giant screen. They have some AI stuff, but the thing I'm really surprised about two things battery life performance. And the 6000 mill battery. That's humongous compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It has only a 5000 milliamp power battery, so it gets you a lot longer in our testing as far as the battery life and the cameras they use AI effectively because now the telephoto camera, I compared against the S24 Ultra, even though it has a 3 times optical zoom versus 5 times, it still produced just as good photos. Wow. All right, John Velasco, senior editor over at Tomsky. John, it's great to see you as always. Thanks so much for being here.
