WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.080 KFI AM six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp, the 2 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:10.560 House Whisper on demand on the iHeartRadio app. We've had 3 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:13.400 some great calls. I need to spend some time back 4 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.039 on our new stuff list, because that's the theme of 5 00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:19.480 today's show, new Stuff. I spent almost the entire first 6 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:23.160 part of the show talking about Superwood because it has 7 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.760 so many applications. If you missed that part of the show, 8 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.600 definitely go back in the podcast and listen. You're gonna 9 00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.799 want to hear that. Now we're gonna switch from the 10 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:41.280 very very serious implications industrial planetary implications of Superwood to 11 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:47.840 something that's just fun and pleasant but no less technologically. 12 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:48.640 Wow. 13 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.039 Okay, the website is light l I g h T 14 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.439 dot bio Light dot Bio. That's where you can see 15 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.359 this and the thing that I'm talking about here are, 16 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:08.439 in fact, the fire fly petunia. Okay, if you know 17 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.640 what a petunia looks like. Petunias are lovely flowers. They 18 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:17.040 work everywhere as annuals. Annuals meaning you know, they have 19 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.280 their growth season and then a good frost and a 20 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.280 heavy winter is going to take them out, and so 21 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.280 you replant them every year as an annual for spring 22 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.319 and summer and into you know, early fall in almost 23 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:36.879 every region everywhere here in southern California. A petunia, it 24 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.040 could really be considered kind of what would we say, 25 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.599 a gentle a gentle perennial. In other words, if you 26 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.799 live in an area where you don't get any frosts 27 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.040 that hit petunias, will you know, hold on year round 28 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.719 and they can really be a perennial that just stay 29 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.079 there and keep on growing and keep on being a 30 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:04.959 beautiful flower. There are great groundcover kind of colorful flower. 31 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.159 They come in all different kinds of colors. They spread slowly, 32 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.960 but spread nonetheless. They only get about ten to twelve 33 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.479 inches tall, generally speaking, but they spread very thickly and 34 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.080 very beautifully. Now, all right, it's all well and good, 35 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.759 and if you put a landscape light on them at 36 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.080 night you can enjoy them with the rest of your 37 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:31.719 landscape in the evening. Unless unless you have gone to 38 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:36.719 light dot bio and ordered yourself a glow in the 39 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:44.479 dark petunia. Yeah bio. Luminescent petunias, Uh, they are called 40 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:49.560 the firefly petunia, appropriately so because these petunias have been 41 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:54.439 genetically engineered to glow in the dark, using the same 42 00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.400 essential bioluminescent molecule that fireflies use to glow in the dark. 43 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.080 These petunias don't flash on and off. They don't flicker 44 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:05.919 on and off. They just glow. 45 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:07.479 And no they're not. 46 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:10.879 They don't glow because like glowing the dark stuff that 47 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.599 we use where it's got to absorb a certain amount 48 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.439 of sunlight during the day and then they just glow 49 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.879 for a while. No, they are always bioluminescing. They glow 50 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.120 from sun up to sundown as long as they are 51 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.759 alive and glowing, and it is just something everybody needs 52 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.120 to go and check out. 53 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:31.400 Now. 54 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.439 They're not cheap right now, Nor are they like some 55 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.360 kind of Jurassic Park experiment. 56 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:38.800 Okay. 57 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.439 When we say genetically engineered, we simply mean that they 58 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.560 have found a way of splicing the petunia gene together 59 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:54.400 with a gene from a bioluminescent mushroom, Okay, and as 60 00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:00.520 a result, they've given these petunias that bioluminescent of vibe 61 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.039 and they are just really a sight to behold. Imagine 62 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.360 a bed of flowers in your backyard or your front 63 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:15.000 yard that simply are gently and beautifully glowing green during 64 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.000 the night, and you got to check it out.

Well, this is one step 80 00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.720 in that direction, the Firefly Petunia. Find it at light 81 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.639 dot Bio. Okay, I got more for you. Let's talk 82 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:24.319 about cutting edge televisions. You know that's always an interesting subject. 83 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.680 Is there such a thing anymore? Or have we just 84 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.720 gone all the way. Now, there's a couple of interesting 85 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.720 developments in TV technology that you need to hear about. 86 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.120 We'll talk about it right after. 87 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.720 You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 88 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.319 KFI AM six forty. 89 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.920 Hey, welcome to the program this morning.

So where do we go from here? 96 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.079 In our show this morning? 97 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:10.920 Uh? 98 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.560 Dedicated to new stuff? Well, I got some more stuff 99 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.680 for you. I want to talk to you about some 100 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:23.480 television technology that is relatively new. And why is Tina 101 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.600 coming here with a big smile on her face? 102 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:27.439 What do you? 103 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.439 What do you?

What's 106 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.519 the deal you've got that like the cat that caught 107 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:46.959 the mouse? 108 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:48.399 Smile on your face? What's going on? 109 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:50.319 So? I was listening to this guy on the radio 110 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.279 and he was talking about these bioluminous and petunias. Yes, 111 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:59.959 and I just bought some. It comes into three path 112 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.680 of they said, smaller plants. I need lots of sun 113 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.759 and some tender care. But yeah, we're gonna try them out. 114 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:07.879 All right, and we'll video it. 115 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.480 We'll do some videos. Are glowing our own glow in 116 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:16.560 the dark. But yeah, you know what I didn't do 117 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.240 any research on is whether glowing the dark plants at 118 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.920 night attract you know, no, not mosquitoes, but critters. Right, Like, 119 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.839 if you're a critter looking around to mess with things, 120 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.560 you're like, oh, let's go to the glow and the 121 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:30.160 dark stuff. 122 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:30.879 I don't know. 123 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.439 Well, I guess we're gonna find out, Okay, all right, 124 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:39.600 TVs Okay, Uh. This website address is too long to 125 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.920 give you because it's one of those where it's buried 126 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.800 in a larger website. But if you go to well, 127 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.519 here's the thing. If you look up the LG that's 128 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:57.319 LG right, the tech company, the signature O led TV, 129 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:02.959 you will find the world's first now in production. And 130 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:03.800 it ain't cheap. 131 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:04.240 Okay. 132 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.040 I'm not suggesting that you run out and buy this 133 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.800 television I share this with you because this is cutting 134 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:15.079 edge stuff. And every time I have ever shared cutting 135 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.040 edge stuff with you on the program on a certain 136 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:23.439 date in time, right, a couple three years later, suddenly, yeah, 137 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.600 that's just the thing now, right, And that's why I'm 138 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.199 sharing it with you, to encourage you that this kind 139 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.519 of stuff is coming. One of the biggest problems with 140 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.480 living in the digital media world that we all live 141 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:41.320 in it from a designer perspective, okay, is what we 142 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.159 do with the big black mirror, that giant black mirror 143 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:49.679 that's so huge and so beautiful and so fun to watch. 144 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.279 But when we're not watching it, is that even a thing? Yes, 145 00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.159 it is, when we're not watching it. What do we 146 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.840 do with that when it's just taking it, when it's 147 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:02.519 dominating a right, we find a way to hide it. 148 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:06.960 We find a way to cover it up. Sometimes we 149 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.879 turn to like the Samsung the Frame, which is a 150 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.600 TV that mimics during the daytime, when it's not being watched, 151 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.399 mimics a beautiful piece of artwork hanging on the wall. 152 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:21.320 That's a totally effective way to do it. Or perhaps 153 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:25.679 now we will have yet another option from LG which 154 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:30.080 is a transparent TV. It's a transparent TV that stands 155 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:36.120 on its own structure in a room, is completely viewable, 156 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.360 high depth, you know whatever. K I think it's four 157 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:44.080 K at a considerably large size when it's being viewed 158 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.759 day or night. But when you turn the thing off, 159 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.639 it becomes a transparent piece of glass. It also has 160 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:55.960 some really funky and cool video elements that can be added, 161 00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.200 and artifacts during the day that can be added that 162 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.279 just kind of show up in the glass that you 163 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.080 know as plants or this or that, some cool stuff. 164 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.159 But it is, yes, you heard it, it's transparent, Okay. 165 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.960 So when it's off, it's a pane of glass set 166 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:19.320 handsomely in kind of a contemporary you know book what 167 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.639 looks like a bookshelf frame, free standing in the middle 168 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.159 of a room, wireless to all of its speaker components. 169 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.840 And yeah, and it has a limited application and a 170 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.200 very very big price tag right now, Okay, limited application 171 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:36.279 and big price tag. 172 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:37.159 But for those of you. 173 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.279 Who are like, yeah, okay, get practical, Dean, like I said, 174 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.360 I have never introduced a technology here on the show, 175 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.519 especially when it comes to electronics, don't they all initially 176 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:54.799 come out with limited applications, limited esthetics and an incredibly 177 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:55.679 high price tag. 178 00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:56.279 Yes they do. 179 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.120 So I'm not telling you to go out and buy 180 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.600 this for your home today. Maybe somebody is, certainly one 181 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.600 of my clients might tap me on the shoulder tomorrow 182 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.799 and say, hey, Dane, let's get our let's get our 183 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.320 hands on one of those. Sure, sure, no problem. But 184 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.039 the point is, I thought it would be interesting to 185 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:16.720 share with you. Yep, even in the flat screen television market, 186 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.720 even in a day and age when we are making 187 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:24.960 television screens massive in size, wall size and proportions at 188 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:30.399 times super bright, super super high death and you know, 189 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.679 one inch thick or less these days, even in this world, 190 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.480 there is room for it to go further. And uh, 191 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.200 this gets like, you know, starts to go into like 192 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.879 minority report area where the TV when it's not on 193 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.919 is just a clear pane of glass that you can 194 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.200 see right through in the room. Yeah, it is weird 195 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.279 and uh, and yet it's true. And so they've worked 196 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.960 out the cabling and the and all the power supple 197 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:04.960 to it in such a way that it's a beautiful thing. 198 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.480 I got a contemporary application right now, But it's a 199 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.639 beautiful thing, all right. One more along those lines is 200 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.039 you know I talked about everything being super high deaf. 201 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.919 Here's a problem with super high deaf. Number one, most 202 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.679 of you are using super high deaf the wrong way, 203 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.480 which we found out with our friends when we were 204 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:30.440 traveling to Santa Fe. We sat down and talked to 205 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:35.080 them about why the movie that they were watching looked 206 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:38.399 weird to them. Okay, so number one, most of you 207 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.440 are using super high deaf in the wrong way. I'm 208 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:42.519 going to tell you and solve that problem for you 209 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:45.879 when we come back. And secondly, one of the problems 210 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:52.559 with super high deaf televisions are watching anything old on them, 211 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:57.080 old movies, and by old, I mean you know anything 212 00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:01.440 that existed before the High Death four K eight. Hey world, Okay, 213 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:03.879 they look weird. 214 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:05.120 They look. 215 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.440 Like they're vibrating, they look like they've got strange edges. 216 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.720 They just super high depf brings out every single flaw, 217 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:20.399 every grain of old film, every distortion of old videotape. 218 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:22.080 Is there a way around it? 219 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:22.600 Yep. 220 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:27.240 AI has solved that problem. And there's a company, a 221 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.840 very large I tech company that you are familiar with, 222 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.480 who is now selling an AI television that's smart enough 223 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.919 to make old stuff look right, all right, we'll talk 224 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:44.440 about that using your TV right and that new technology 225 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:45.600 right after. 226 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.039 You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 227 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:51.559 KFI AM six forty. 228 00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.720 You are Home with Dean Sharp. The house Whisper. Home 229 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.159 is the name of the show. The House Whisper is 230 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.639 the name of your host. It's not my name, it's 231 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.519 the thing. It's the thing they call me. I'm Dean Sharp. Hi, 232 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:10.480 welcome home. We are talking new stuff today on the program, 233 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.519 and we've talked about everything from super wood that could 234 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:21.960 radically change manufacturing, home building, home living home structures into 235 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.799 the future, to glow in the Dark petunias, which could 236 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.639 just it's going to change my garden apparently because Tina 237 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.039 just announced to me that she boughts some off of 238 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.919 the light Dot Bio website, so I guess that's the 239 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:37.679 thing that's happening soon. And also I talked to you 240 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.000 about transparent televisions just before the break, and I still 241 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:48.080 got some TV news for you. The thing, the side effect, 242 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:53.440 the unexpected side effect, as everybody talks about, you know, 243 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:57.919 higher and higher and higher resolution television sets, which, by 244 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:00.519 the way, can I just say I get it? You know, 245 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.360 we go from from four K to eight K. Now 246 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:07.799 we're moving into eight K televisions. Uh, you know, it's 247 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.039 all well and good. It's all well and good. Uh. 248 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.159 And and if you're just and I guess if you're 249 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:18.639 a if you're a video nerd or a visual nerd, 250 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.480 then you know you long for the day where there's 251 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.720 sixteen K and thirty two K and sixty four k, 252 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:32.120 uh and so on. Actually, several years ago, Apple introduced 253 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.720 what they call the retina display, which I believe is 254 00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.039 five K. I could be wrong about that five K 255 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.320 the retina. We got to find out what the retina 256 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.240 display is. But the point is this an Apple Retina display, 257 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.639 which is somewhere in the lower ks, the lower thousands 258 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.600 of resolution is actually and they were absolutely one hundred 259 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.840 percent accurate about this indetectable pixelation with the human eye. 260 00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.480 So the point is, at some point you reach the 261 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.320 threshold of what a human eye or an audio visual 262 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.000 terms also audio terms of what the human ear can 263 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.320 actually distinguish, and you know you're there. You're there at 264 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:13.279 the threshold. So if you keep doubling the resolution and 265 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.759 tripling the audio quality, it all goes. 266 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.240 To waste on us. At some point. 267 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:23.039 And so that, by the way, is a very valuable 268 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.399 bit of information. When you go out shopping and you're 269 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:28.519 one of those people who are attempted to just pay 270 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:31.639 unbelievable amounts of money for the latest and greatest thing, 271 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:35.559 the thought that one day you will bring home a 272 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:42.759 twenty four thousand dollars television flat screen, and my five 273 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:46.360 hundred and forty dollars flat screen looks exactly the same 274 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:51.000 as yours does. I'm just saying because we've all gone 275 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.080 beyond the threshold, and what's beyond the threshold of our 276 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:59.879 visual acuity is simply that it's simply beyond the threshold. Okay, 277 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.600 So you can't tell the difference between the two. So 278 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:08.160 here's the thing, though, there are things in life that 279 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:13.960 are that are sub four K and a K definitely technologies. 280 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:18.960 For instance, when most directors are setting up their motion 281 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:24.440 pictures and their makeup effects and their special effects and 282 00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:29.119 their environmental effects and so on and so forth, they're 283 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:33.480 thinking in terms of motion picture screen quality. They have 284 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.559 a certain resolution quality that they're looking for, and a 285 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.359 four K, even now a four K TV can go 286 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.880 way beyond that. That's why you watch certain films and 287 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:45.880 maybe it's your thing to watch a film and see 288 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:47.960 it differently than the way you would see it in 289 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.599 the theater, But that's not my thing, you know, because 290 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.599 as an artist, I want to see the art the 291 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.640 way the artists intended. Okay, So we were with some 292 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:58.799 friends this week and we were like, hey, do you 293 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.599 guys keep your TV? Because the TV we were looking 294 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:06.000 at was all set up weird at its highest possible resolution. 295 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.079 Do you guys keep your TV always cranked up? The jutter, 296 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.079 the jutter on your TV always cranked up to the maximum. 297 00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:15.119 And they're like, we have no idea what you're talking about. 298 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.039 We have a four K TV, so that's just the 299 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:20.720 way things look. And I'm like, actually not so. In 300 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:26.160 your video visual settings on your television, your display settings, 301 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.640 right the video settings on your TV, there is a 302 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.440 place where you can go to and it's usually under 303 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:36.480 expert controls. Okay, don't let that cause you any fear. 304 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.079 Go to expert controls and you will find a setting 305 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:46.599 for jutter, jutter, jutter. And if you have been sitting 306 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:51.559 there watching TV and watching movies looking like they were filmed, 307 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.200 like with video cameras for soap operas and not enjoying 308 00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:59.079 that experience, then you need to get into your jutter settings. 309 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.440 Set it to manual on set it the jutter ju 310 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:07.200 t ter down to zero. Okay, it does not change 311 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.680 the resolution of your TV. You haven't just reduced four K. 312 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.319 You're still seeing everything in four K. What the jutter is, 313 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.160 it's kind of a It's a setting that where the 314 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.079 sampling rate on the television is such that it removes 315 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.599 blur motion blur, and that's an unnatural thing because we 316 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.599 see motion blur ourselves. And it also affects the way 317 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:34.799 that everything is receiving light refraction off of the screen. 318 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:39.240 Suddenly a four K television with the jutter turned down 319 00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:45.480 to zippo or one, maybe suddenly the film the production 320 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:50.240 looks the way that Hollywood intended it to look. Okay, 321 00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:52.559 and knowing that it's there now means you can change 322 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.720 it whenever you want. So, if you're watching a nature documentary, 323 00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.240 crank that baby up, because the bald eagles are not 324 00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.079 wearing make and you will not be able to see 325 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:06.160 them look weird. But if you take your average movie 326 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:09.519 star on screen and crank the jutter way up, you 327 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:12.640 will actually see the mistakes that the makeup artists have 328 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.960 made you will and you don't want to, so turn 329 00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:16.480 it down. 330 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:17.160 Okay. 331 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.960 Also, when you're watching sports, go ahead and crank it up. 332 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.200 Crank it up if you want to see every detail 333 00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:25.960 with the minimal amounts of blur, but rank it back 334 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.880 down when it's time to watch, you know, that latest 335 00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:32.799 blockbuster film. And yes, you are welcome. It's in your 336 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:36.920 settings for not in your settings for Netflix and Apple 337 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:39.680 TV or any No, it's in the television settings. You 338 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:42.680 get the TV remote, you go to settings, and you 339 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.960 go to the video settings, and you go to expert 340 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:50.480 controls and you go to jutter jutter. Okay, there you go. 341 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:57.200 Now in those in the spirit of that, there's always 342 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.279 a problem with four K and higher resolutions. And you're 343 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:02.920 watching something that was made in the eighties or the 344 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:08.119 seventies or the sixties, or a classic film like Casablanca 345 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:12.480 or something like that, you're watching these old lower resolution 346 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:17.200 or you're watching like video from your camcorder from when 347 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.640 you were a kid, or when your kids were. 348 00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.480 Even younger, and now your kids out it's all digital now. 349 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.680 But anyway, lower resolution stuff, you know exactly what I'm 350 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:29.519 talking about. They look awful on a four K TV, 351 00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:34.240 except if you get from Samsung, and you go to 352 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:38.039 Samsung now, and there are more than that manufacturer, but 353 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:41.039 they're kind of the tip of the spear here Samsung. 354 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:43.680 You look for a TV that not only is your 355 00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:48.920 four or AK, but you see the words smart AI upscaling, 356 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:51.599 smart AI upscaling. 357 00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:52.599 What is it? 358 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:57.880 It's an AI algorithm inside the television that knows when 359 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:01.000 you're looking at something of lower resis what does the 360 00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:05.960 AI do? It gets into every pixel and it intelligently 361 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:13.680 removes distortions, It removes missing artifacts that shouldn't be there, 362 00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:19.079 like scratches and dust, and it sharpens everything to a 363 00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.400 simulated four K resolution. And if you actually look at 364 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.480 the you watch the the the commercial that's actually on 365 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.519 the Samsung website for their smart A TV, you'll see 366 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.519 exactly what.
