The Best Television



Especially in a dark home theater environment, OLED televisions absolutely sing. But as great as these TVs are, there are two major complaints: they’re too expensive, and they’re all curved. While the price is still a work in progress, LG is finally ditching the curve for its first flat 4K OLED, the LG 65EF9500 (MSRP $5,999). The EF9500 looks incredible, boasting pitch-black shadows and vibrant colors. Add to that HDR compatibility, LG’s bubbly webOS 2.0, and a surprisingly fetching physical design. No matter how you slice it, the EF9500 is the total package, and it’s easily one of our favorite TVs of 2015. See all of Reviewed.com’s 2015 Best of Year television awards.

The Mystery of the Canadian Whiskey Fungus

The Mystery of the Canadian Whiskey Fungus The air outside a distillery warehouse smells like witch hazel and spices, with notes of candied fruit and vanilla—warm and tangy- mellow. It’s the aroma of fresh cookies cooling in the kitchen while a fancy cocktail party gets out of hand in the living room. James Scott encountered that scent for the first time a decade ago in a town called Lakeshore, Ontario. Just across the river from Detroit, Lakeshore is where barrels of Canadian Club whiskey age in blocky, windowless warehouses. Scott, who had recently completed his PhD in mycology at the University of Toronto, had launched a business called Sporometrics. Run out of his apartment, it was a sort of consulting detective agency for companies that needed help dealing with weird fungal infestations. The first call he got after putting up his website was from a director of research at Hiram Walker Distillery named David Doyle. Doyle had a problem. In the neighborhood s...

The Zero1 Flexible Football Helmet May Save Players’ Brains

The Zero1 Flexible Football Helmet May Save Players’ Brains   Football is a game of simple physics: One player has a ball, and many other players who do not have the ball want to stop him in his tracks. Sometimes this interaction happens at high speed. Speeds so fast that the parties involved bang into each other with a G force equivalent to a bowling ball being dropped on a head from 8 feet high. Football is a beautifully violent game, which is the reason Americans simultaneously exalt and fear the sport. It’s the reason people cheer when a cornerback makes the tackle or a linebacker pummels his opponent. It’s also the reason that one out of every three players in the NFL will experience some form of brain trauma during his career. According to an investigation from Frontline, there have been nearly 200 concussions so far this NFL season, and those are just the concussions that were officially reported. The NFL has a ver...

Psst: You Could Probably Lift a Car by Sucking Through a Straw

Psst: You Could Probably Lift a Car by Sucking Through a Straw   In another great MythBusters moment, Adam and Jamie managed to lift a car with a vacuum cleaner. That’s pretty cool, but could you replace the vacuum cleaner with just a human sucking on a straw? How Do You Lift a Car With Suction? Really, there is no suction. There is only air pressure. Yes, we are immersed in air. It’s all around us and when air molecules (let’s say it’s mostly nitrogen) collide with some surface it’s like a super tiny little push. Since air has lots of molecules, you get lots of collisions and pushes. The greater the surface area, the greater the force from these pushes. But really, we just like to talk about the push per unit area—we call this pressure. The air around us doesn’t just push down on us. It also pushes up and to the side and every which way since the air molecules are moving in all directions. Ok, technically the air pushes more up than down and this leads ...
