Friction maxing?

What the hell could that possibly be?

It's one more thing.

Armstrong and Getty.

One more thing.

Before we get to that,

New York Times had this article, I knew TV backlighting was cool. I didn't expect it to be such a powerful upgrade. I had not heard of this concept. Now, LED lighting, as this guy writing the article talks about, really got hot during the pandemic for some reason. I think it was like the technology just happened to meet up at a time when everybody was stuck at home. My time to change their light fixtures. But they got super cheap like these light strings, LED light strings. I mean, they're so cheap. My son has them all around his room. He's at him for a couple of years. They burn out the other day. We went and got brand new ones for a total of like $11. dollars. I mean, they're so cheap. My son has them all around his room. He's at him for a couple years. They burned out the other day. We went and got brand new ones for a total of like $11. I mean, they're just so cheap. And you can really make your room look cool, different colors. And then you can have them, you know, for an extra five bucks. You can run it off your Wi-Fi and change the colors from your phone or all kinds What am I a hippie in this scenario? I've got lamps like normal people.

Dude. Wi-Fi and change the colors from your phone or all kinds of things. What am I a hippie in this scenario?

I've got lamps like normal people.

Dude, the TV ones are must have.

Okay.

So, interesting, this backlighting thing, he says, for very little money, you get these LED

strips that you put behind your TV, and then they change colors with like if your TV goes

to a dark scene or a red scene or a light scene, whatever the general color is, the lights light

up in the back of the TV. And he says, you can't explain until you have seen it how magical it is

and what it does to the whole immersion TV experience on your big screen TV till you get these backlights. And so you've done it, Katie? Yeah, I did it as a surprise for Drew. Cool. And it is, like you said, it's like the string. It sticks to the back of the TV. And then it has this little contraption that just barely comes over the front of the TV so it can pick up the colors on the screen. And as you're watching,

it'll do this light sequence that lights up the whole wall behind the TV along with what's

happening. And it is so cool. Yeah. Okay, two questions. Are you on mushrooms right now? Are you

answer the question? All right. So I don't think I get the appeal exactly. I don't. Is it that the whole, it's real and you're there with it or what? What's the deal? It just, and I really can't explain it either other than it just enhances what you're watching. That's a word this guy used in immersion. Yeah. You're just more immersed in the... I mean, even when you're watching sports, it'll change, you know, it changes color with the courts or the field. And it just, it's... All I know is now this reviewer and you, that's two people that say, you can't believe how cool this is. So I'm just going to take their word for it and get it myself and it's cheap. Most examples I had there were pretty cheap. Cheap and easy to put up. Sheep and super easy put up. So I'm going to do it this weekend. So yeah, I totally believe that I'll appreciate it when I see it. It occurs to me, it could be something like it includes what you're seeing in front of you in your more peripheral vision,

which is the way we perceive the world.
