Have you ever tried to watch TV during the day and couldn’t see the images because of the glare? Your TV can make all the difference during a movie night at home, gaming sessions and even watching your favorite team play in the NBA Finals or the World Cup. You also likely have an opinion about the television in your living room. We want to know whether you’d recommend it to your friends.
During the month of June, you can take our three-minute survey to share your thoughts. The top picks will make it into our final roundup, so be sure to check back to see if your choice makes the cut.
Why we want to hear from you
Resolution specs and refresh rates only tell you so much. How the picture quality holds up during a dark action scene and how easy it is to use are things you experience every time you turn on your TV. That information is invaluable to readers looking for their next TV.
“I look at a lot of TVs every year, from budget to ultraexpensive, but I’m most interested to hear what the readers who are buying TVs are looking for. Do you pick a brand and stick with it, or is size, price or picture more important?” said Ty Pendlebury, CNET’s senior editor and TV expert.
So, whether you have a budget pick or a premium OLED TV, we want to know what you think of it.

How to make your voice heard
The survey is open during June and takes less than three minutes to complete. After we gather enough information, we’ll crunch the numbers and publish the winners.

Regular readers of this blog will know that most of what I do here is explain, analyse, and argue about macroeconomics, monetary policy, and increasingly artificial intelligence. That work is public and free – and I intend to keep it that way.
But over the past year, we have increasingly been asked – through PAICE, the consultancy I co-founded – to bring that kind of thinking directly into organisations. Investment committees, boards, executive teams, and strategy sessions.
So we have formalised that offering under the name Expert Briefings.
What is an Expert Briefing?
It is not a standard presentation. It is a tailored, interactive session where your organisation gets focused access to specialist knowledge on the topics that matter most to you right now. We start from your industry, your risk exposure, and your questions – and work from there.
At PAICE, we cover three interconnected areas:
Macroeconomics, monetary policy, and financial markets – global growth, inflation, central bank policy and communication, interest rates, currencies, commodities, and financial imbalances. The question we always come back to: what does any of this actually mean for your business, your investments, and your risk picture?
Geopolitics and business risk – trade conflicts, energy markets, security policy, and geopolitical shifts. And critically: the concrete implications for companies and investors who have to make decisions in an uncertain world.
Artificial intelligence and technology – the latest developments in AI, what they mean for your specific sector, and how you position yourself strategically when the pace of change is this fast.
These three areas can be addressed individually or in combination, depending on what your organisation needs.
Who is this for?
The organisations we work with range from pension funds and asset managers who need regular macro and market input for investment committees, to CEOs, CFOs, and boards who want an independent external perspective on economics, monetary policy, technology, and geopolitics. Exporters and multinationals dealing with currency risk and trade policy. Banks building internal analytical capacity. Technology companies navigating AI regulation and competitive dynamics.
The common thread is that they want direct access to expertise – not a consultant’s slide deck, but a genuine conversation with someone who has spent decades thinking about these questions.
Formats
We try to be flexible about how this works in practice. Some organisations want a regular monthly or quarterly cadence to stay continuously updated. Others prefer an on-demand retainer – a standing arrangement that allows them to call on a briefing when the need arises, without going through a full procurement process each time. And sometimes the need is simply a one-off session for a strategy day or board meeting.
For topics that genuinely benefit from multiple perspectives, we can also convene an expert panel – two or more specialists combining, for instance, macroeconomics with AI and technology, or geopolitics with energy markets.
Who delivers the briefings?
The briefings are anchored by me. I spent fifteen years as Head of Emerging Markets Research at Danske Bank, including co-authoring the 2006 “Geyser Crisis” report that identified the risks building in the Icelandic banking system ahead of the 2008 collapse. Today I serve as co-founder, co-owner, and Head of Analysis at PAICE, where our work sits at the intersection of macroeconomic analysis, monetary policy, AI, and data.
For broader panels and cross-disciplinary sessions, I draw on PAICE’s network of specialists across macroeconomics, monetary policy, financial markets, artificial intelligence, technology, and geopolitics.
Getting in touch
If any of this sounds relevant for your organisation, we are happy to have an initial conversation about what might make sense.
