The size you’ll need will depend on both your own personal preferences and how far you’ll be sitting from the TV – and if you want to get the best idea of the height, width and depth that’ll fit on your cabinet or TV stand, it’s important to take a close look at the dimensions and get out the measuring tape. ![]() Since that’s not one of your decision-making factors, we’ve explained the remaining bits of jargon you’ll want to be turned into plain English below:ĭisplay size: Measured from corner to corner in inches, just like a laptop, tablet or iPad screen, this key number will give you a good impression of how large the TV is overall. The good news is that you’ve already picked the brand that you’d prefer, which means you probably know your way around the Samsung operating system and interface. There are several key specifications you’ll want to keep in mind when shopping around for a new TV. “We’ve had displays that have been up for 15+ years with more than adequate brightness.” “The reality is, your screen can often last significantly longer than 100,000 hours,” says Samsung product manager Kevin Izatt. The best TVs should last much longer than 10 years, if not exposed to extreme temperatures. Today, the industry standard for an LED lifespan is 100,000 hours but, as mentioned, that figure is calculated for consistent use at maximum brightness, and none of us uses our TVs like that. It’s the same story with Samsung, and this longevity is something that’s improved over time. Most televisions are rated to last for at least seven years, and that’s with the screen on all day and at the highest brightness setting. While the latest features are often great, you may not need a brand-new telly unless your existing one is broken or on its last legs. We understand why so many people are wondering how often you should be a new TV, but you might be surprised to find that it’s not as often as you’d expect.

5/29/2023 0 Comments Scoop there it is![]() From that day forward Mark discovered a love of the big idea that moves the needle.Īfter 12 years at KWWL, Mark became a business owner as a co-founder of ME&V - rebranded as AMPERAGE in 2015. The effort raised a few million dollars in undiscovered wills and legacy gifts. Mark wrote his first direct-mail fundraising letter in 1981 for the University of Iowa Center for Advancement. That’s 15 million people who watched a “commercial” on YouTube. So how is it doing? Well, as you can see, the commercial has more than 15 million views on YouTube. And of course, their iconic standard branding line about saving 15% or more on car insurance. It’s a triple scoop of creativity that is pleasing to the eye and ear. Scoop! There it is, and GEICO has found a way to break through the clutter and build a brand around fun ads, great characters and music. The clever mix of ice cream names and the strong beat drives the commercial so much you want to get up and dance. “Scoop, there it is” is sure to be a slang phrase of 2021. The GEICO ad features Atlanta’s TAG Team (aka DC “The Brain Supreme” Glenn and Steve Rollin Gibson). GEICO has discovered that advertising in a digital world is a new medium that requires some artful sales, loud and literal messaging and a lot of entertainment value.ĭo you recognize the following line from a GEICO ad? “French Vanilla, Rocky Road, Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Cookie Dough … scoop, there it is. It seems that many advertisers just want to tell people things in commercials and videos, and magically have them immediately react and buy something, give money, sign up or schedule an appointment.

Watch below, directed by Hungry Man’s Dan Opsal:ĪLSO READ: Scoop here they are – BTS of Geico’s spot with Tag Team Their teen daughter, though, who witnesses the “events” for a few seconds, decides to “escape” the performance. They also perform the famous “Shaka-laka-chaka-laka-chaka-laka” part, making Tasha and her husband relive the ’90s spirit and break out the classic Kid ‘n Play dance. Scoop, there it is”, the duo are singing. “French vanilla, rocky road, chocolate, peanut butter, cookie dough. The success of “Whoomp! (There It Is)” represented a milestone in the history of hip-hop because it has been enjoyed by culturally and generationally diverse audiences.Īnyhoo, back to the spot, Equipped with ice cream scoops, Cecil and Steve are seen putting ice cream in bowls while singing a new version of their hit. In the early 1990s, Tag Team broke stereotypes about the hip-hop genre by demonstrating that there was more to hip-hop than inflammatory lyrics. If you don’t know Cecil Glenn (DC the Brain Supreme) and Steve Gibson (Steve Rolln), they are best known for their 1993 multiplatinum single, Whoomp! (There It Is), which has been featured at sports arenas and stadiums as well as in countless ads, films, and TV shows. The spot, part of the company’s “What Are You Waiting For?” campaign features a woman named Tasha (Nicci Carr) in her kitchen, preparing dessert for her guests.Īn announcer informs Tasha that GEICO could save her hundreds on car insurance and a whole lot more and soon finds herself with the old school hip hop duo, Tag Team. And for obvious reasons, like the Reel 360 team can’t stop watching it, is our Reel Ad of the Week. Why is this not a Super Bowl spot? Insurance company GEICO has teamed up with Tag Team for a new commercial. 5/29/2023 0 Comments The journey back to oz songOther voices were by Ethel Merman, Milton Berle, Mickey Rooney, Paul Lynde, Herschel Bernardi, Paul Ford, Danny Thomas, Margaret Hamilton (also from the 1939 film, but now playing Aunt Em rather than the Wicked Witch of the West, who died in the earlier film), and opera singer Risë Stevens as Glinda the Good Witch.įor the film's U.S. It features Liza Minnelli voicing Dorothy (played in the 1939 film by her mother Judy Garland, and in what would have been her first major role had the film been released as originally intended). ![]() It was only after the Filmation studio had made profits on their numerous television series that it was able to finish the project, copyrighted 1971, released in 1972 in the UK and 1974 in the U.S. The movie began production in 1962, but ran out of money and was halted for nearly eight years.

Thereafter Mombi disguises herself as a rose with poisonous thorns, which the elephants trample over and themselves disappear, prompting the Scarecrow to explain that Mombi's magic has died with her. Mombi brews a potion to shrink Toto to mouse-size so she can feed him to her cat but when startled, miniaturizes her crow and cat instead. When Dorothy opens Glinda's box, mice emerge, scaring the elephants. Woodenhead carries Dorothy and Pumpkinhead back to the Emerald City, where Mombi's elephants surprise them. One of the trees snatches it from him, but changes its fellows and itself into gold and turns them from bad to good. Mombi, having seen their progress in her crystal ball, brings the nearby trees to life whereupon Glinda sends a golden hatchet to Pumpkinhead. She then gives Dorothy a little silver box, to open only in the Emerald City, and only in a dire emergency. He declines upon being afraid of the green elephants and suggests that they ask the Cowardly Lion (voiced by Milton Berle), who promises to slay the elephants, but suggests consulting Glinda the Good Witch (voiced by Rise Stevens), who appears to them with a "Glinda Bird" that uses its Tattle Tail to show what is occurring at the palace.

The Ascendant can choose not to take a second starting point and take an attribute skill and a skill point instead, but this is not recommended as two free skill points is almost always worth more than attributes. Consequently, the Ascendant does not reach a power spike until completing the Cruel Labyrinth and cannot start allocating points from another class's starting point until completing the Merciless Labyrinth.

To achieve this effect, Lenovo uses "in-cell touch" technology, which builds the touch screen digitizer directly into the LCD panel and eliminates the need for a separate protective layer.Īccording to our colorimeter, the ThinkPad T460 reproduces only 67 percent of the sRGB color gamut with both touch and non-touch panels, which is about the same as the T460s (66 percent), but a lot fewer shades than the category average (84 percent). Unlike most touch screens, the one on the T460 is matte rather than glossy, which eliminates some glare. Images started to fade a bit at when viewed at greater than 45 degrees to the left or right. The blue in the Captain's costume and the red in Iron Man's armor were subdued and a little dark, but not washed out. When I watched a trailer for Captain America: Civil War, fine details like the wrinkles on Steve Roger's forehead and the ridges in his helmet really stood out. The ThinkPad T460's 14-inch, 1920 x 1080 touch screen outputs sharp images and fairly accurate but not very rich colors. It also responded quickly and consistently to multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom, two-finger scroll and three-finger swipe. In my testing, the navigation device proved smooth and responsive, with little of the jumpiness or stickiness we sometimes encounter on buttonless pads. If you're not open to using a pointing stick, you'll appreciate the ThinkPad T460's excellent, 2.9 x 3.9-inch touchpad.

As usual, the little red nub provided extremely accurate navigation. Like most ThinkPads, the T460 has a TrackPoint pointing stick between its G and H keys. I reached a higher-than-usual rate of 97 words-per-minute on the typing test with a near-perfect error rate. Nevertheless, typing felt really comfortable, and I never found myself "bottoming out," or pressing hard against the base. ![]() The keyboard requires just 50 grams of force to actuate (or press down), so it doesn't feel quite as snappy as most other ThinkPads, which require 55 to 60 grams. The keys have 2.33 millimeters of vertical travel, which is among the deepest we've ever seen on a laptop (1.5 to 2mm is typical). The ThinkPad T460's spill-resistant keyboard provides a truly excellent typing experience, with smile-shaped keys that offer plenty of travel. It also comes standard with a fingerprint reader, but unlike the ThinkPad T460s' convenient single-touch sensor, this notebook uses an old-school swipe reader. With Intel vPro-capable CPU options and a Trusted Platform Module, the ThinkPad T460 has the security and manageability features that enterprise IT departments require. According to the company, the T460 passed several MIL-SPEC 810G durability tests, including those for extreme temperatures, shocks and vibrations.
