Courtesy of Black Friday/Cyber Monday pricing, I am the proud owner of a brand new, top-of-the-line 82” Samsung 4K TV set. It is huge, awesome, and amazing. The picture quality is breathtaking. You just run out of superlatives when trying to describe the viewing experience. There’s only one problem. The best 4K content is only available over-the-top (OTT).

I found what I was looking for in the new BenQ 4K PhotoVue Photo Editing Monitor.
For about 200,000 years, modern humans have relied on our eyes and ears to separate truth from lies and fact from fiction.
