I started CouchSetup to make TV and home theater buying less confusing. Most people don't have time to read ten reviews, compare spec sheets and dig through forums before buying a TV or a soundbar, so I do that part.
For every guide I go through the expert reviews and lab measurements from places like RTINGS, What Hi-Fi?, TechRadar and Tom's Guide, collect the numbers that matter in one sheet, and compare products against their real rivals. I don't run a test lab and I never claim hands-on testing I haven't done.
I write about: TVs, soundbars, projectors, streaming devices, home theater seating and room setup.
