What Sound Does a Car Make?

What sound does a cow make? That question should not stump you. What sound does a car make? That question is more difficult. For example, Vroom Vroom, or Hmmmm? Or maybe, Ta-Da! Increasingly, the sound a car makes is entirely up to the automaker, and you.

Remaster Class: Bob Marley & The Wailers: Legend

Calling Bob Marley the king of reggae is a bit like saying Jamaica is a nice place to visit for fun in the sun. It's truly a shame Marley passed away from melanoma at age 36 in 1981 before he could get a full whiff of just how far-reaching the music he helped pioneer has rolled in the ensuing years, but Island Records founder and unyieldingly ardent Marley advocate Chris Blackwell and his forward-thinking label compatriots had the clear foresight to compile 14 of the man's top grooves and singles for inclusion on May 1984's Legend: The Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers LP.

XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K DLP Projector Review

Performance
Features
Ergonomics
Value

PRICE $1,699

AT A GLANCE
Plus
Bright, detailed 4K image
Excellent auto-setup features
Potent built-in audio system
LED lamp provides 25,000 hours use
Minus
Limited contrast ratio
Non-backlit remote control
Picture adjustments reset to default after unplugging

THE VERDICT
XGMI's pricey portable delivers crisp, bright 4K images along with auto-setup features that make it incredibly easy to get up and running.

Even as TVs grow ever-larger, the projector category continues to be an active one, with more recent designs like ultra short throw models giving viewers an alternative to room-dominating hang- from-ceiling setups. And while we here at Sound & Vision typically advocate for high-performance, and accordingly high-priced, options, the reality is that much of the action in the global projector scene involves affordable lower- end models, many from brands you may have not heard of before.

The Streaming Jungle

If your TV is 7-10 years old and free of built-in streaming services, or you haven't yet used an outboard streaming device, your life is simple. Turn the set on, study the easy-to-search opening screen and, via your remote control, select from the limited selections offered.

But if your set is anywhere near new, and you're using its on-board, so-called Smart TV opening screen, it's a very different experience. For starters, if you don't want to select something as basic as your cable box, disc player, or gaming console, there are roughly 99,999 other options (Apps and the like) to choose from. Some set makers even have their own "free" channels, with program guides listing reams of old TV shows, films that no other streaming site wanted, reruns of sports from 1995, and documentaries on hedge pruning. The long-established options, such as Netflix , Amazon, and Hulu, are selectable as well, along with relative newbies like Disney+, Peacock+ (why today's the fascination with "+"?) and others.

Ever wonder why all this stuff now clutters up your home screen? ...
