Manage episode 221364461 series 1108786
Popular Technology Radio is back as Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday draw closer, promising amazing deals on everything from 360 cameras to TV sets. First off, Mike Etchart gets back in the pilot's chair, contrasts the prices of TVs today with plasma sets of 20 years ago, and gets us ready for CES and NAMM in January 2019. Then, Geoff Morrison tells us why heavily discounted televisions during the Black Friday weekend aren't as good of deals as we may be lead to believe. Next, we dive into how TVs have gotten as inexpensive as they have due to the natural progression of manufacturing technology. Changing topics, Geoff describes why Insta360's One X is the best camera on the market. Closing the show, we discuss LG's monopoly on OLED TV manufacturing technology, and why Samsung can't get a foothold in this market. Tune in and get ready for Black Friday!
