TV specifications can be rather confusing for individuals who do not assess them professionally. Luckily, we have specialists who do: Ty Pendlebury, the TV and home video editor at CNET, and Will Greenwald, the home theater and AR/VR expert at PCMag. Both CNET and PCMag, which are owned by Ziff Davis, the publisher of Mashable, maintain dedicated laboratories for television testing.
