Former Home Theater of the Month honoree Jeremy Mills recently replaced the lamp in his Epson Pro Cinema 6050UB projector and wonders if he should get it professionally calibrated. He has a calibration disc and can do some of it himself, but is it worthwhile to hire a professional to really dial it in? Scott Wilkinson gives his thoughts.

A YouTube channel called Gamers Nexus recently took a deep dive into how much data LG collects from its TVs about your viewing habits and even ambient conversations in the room. This has sparked a fierce debate about privacy and exactly how LG and other TV and so-called "smart" device manufacturers use the data they collect. Scott Wilkinson talks about the issue and the best ways for you to limit the amount of data that corporations collect from you.

Scott Wilkinson is way into Dark Matter, a streaming series on Apple TV+ starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly. Based on a novel by Blake Crouch, it explores the notion of parallel universes and one physicist's invention that allows travel between them. Unlike many depictions of this idea, Dark Matter is much more character-driven and thoughtful. Highly recommended!

In this new occasional series within Home Theater Geeks, Scott Wilkinson talks about content he is particularly enjoying. This week, he is really digging Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, the latest spin-off from The Big Bang Theory. It's very different from its progenitor, but just as funny and filled with geeky goodness!
