The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The article claims that Roku TVs have been featuring mini-LED tech for years when this is not entirely true.
  • The one (small) thing I’d change about the Sonos Ace headphones

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The inclusion of mini-LED means that the TV will have more local dimming zones

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Image: Roku
  • The new Roku TV Pro Series features a trio of models in sizes 55-, 65-, and 75-inch.
  • These TVs will also leverage ai to automatically adjust picture and audio settings based on the specific content you're viewing

Deceptions
