THE VERDICT
Samsung’s G90XF 3D gaming monitor takes a bold step forward, introducing a glasses-free 3D experience that’s both immersive and easy on the eyes. It eliminates the bulk and fatigue of traditional 3D glasses or VR headsets, providing a more natural sense of depth that doesn’t strain your vision over time.

Yes, you’ll sacrifice a bit of resolution when toggling on 3D, but the resulting holographic effect more than makes up for it—games and videos truly pop off the screen.

Looking ahead, we've refreshed our Sound & Vision Top Picks list to better reflect how AV enthusiasts shop today. There are numerous excellent product evaluation sites online, all diligently testing the equipment we consider for inclusion in our lists.

Year after year, these sources typically arrive at a consensus—though the concept of labeling a single product as "best" remains inherently subjective. After all, what might be "best" for one person's budget and preferences may not align perfectly with another's needs. Some products stand out for their top performance, but they usually have high prices.

It's the last day of AXPONA 2025. Late on Sunday afternoon, somewhere between exhaustion and curiosity, I was camped on the Renaissance Convention Center carpet when a father‑and‑daughter team approached. Tom Adamczyk and his daughter Monica weren’t exhibiting; but they were sponsors. They urged me to leave the show and audition a “world‑class” private cinema they’d built under their design/build outfit, VIP Home Theaters. Their pitch: We don’t just design the room—we build the speakers, too.

Free, ad-supported television (FAST) services began to take root in the early-to-mid 2010s, when a handful of pioneering platforms set out to recreate the linear TV experience in a streaming environment. Pluto TV was one of the first to offer curated, round-the-clock channels, initially focusing on reruns and older content but quickly finding an audience that appreciated the familiarity of a “live” feed.
