Why You Should Buy the 50-inch TCL Q5 4K QLED TV

TCL has become one of the more popular TV brands over the last few years. It provides a lot of technology and a great 4K picture at modest price points. With the 50-inch model of the TCL Q5 4K TV you’ll be getting a TV that’s not too big and not too small. It should fit nicely into almost any home theater setup, or it can stand alone in smaller rooms. When it comes to picture quality, it has 4K Ultra HD resolution and QLED technology. QLED offers more than a billion colors for rich, lifelike images, and it creates one of the most immersive experiences available on the market.

The smarts TCL includes in its TVs also contribute to their high value price points. The TCL Q5 4K TV is powered by Google TV Smart OS. Google TV brings your favorite movies, shows, and live TV together all in one place, making it easy to navigate and find your favorite content, as well as new content you might like and may not otherwise notice. This TV also has DTS Virtual:X. This is an audio technology that processes everything you watch and presents it with immersive 3D sound. This makes it a great option for enjoying the games every Sunday, or for taking in the best sports documentaries of all time.

While the 50-inch TCL Q5 4K TV would regularly cost $400, right now you can grab it for just $250. This makes for a savings of $150, and Best Buy is including free next day shipping with a purchase.

My dad is a diehard New England sports fan, and as a kid, I often worried I'd have to perform CPR on him whenever the Bruins, Patriots, or Red Sox were on television. As livid as a Viking berserker, the old man would leap off the sofa to coach Tom Brady from the living room or rain down curses upon the Yankees. Our cocker spaniel, Fenway, instinctively fled the room whenever my father reached for the remote. The stress of it all, plus the fact that I was missing episodes of South Park, soured me on professional sports.

I finally came around in my thirties, less for the sports themselves than for the spectacle and revelry. I can't name more than two Knicks players, but I had a blast watching the NBA Finals with my buddies at bars across New York. The nuances of Formula 1 are about as intelligible to me as multivariable calculus, but that didn't stop me from partying my face off on a press trip to the Miami Grand Prix. I also write about luxury watches, spirits, and travel—all of which dovetail rather nicely with grand athletic extravaganzas.

I don't know if you noticed, but I am a writer. And as a writer, inspiration comes from everywhere. One of the things I learned quickly was that writers love to read. Reading keeps your brain sharp in the space and also inspires. You never know when a line of dialogue, the perfect twist, or engaging prose will ignite your own creativity. For me, I have always found that inspiration in my favorite authors, and Matthew Quirk is near the top of my list. Of course, when I was given the chance to interview him, I dug into his transition from what I do to what he does now and discovered many inspiring insights that everyone should know. Whether you want to be a writer or not.

15 movies every man should watch as often as possible

Movies that will teach you to be a man and entertain you at the same time

Everyone loves a good movie night. Whether you like to get dressed and head to the theater so you can justify the biggest bucket of popcorn and soda you can find for something new, or you are the kind of guy who likes to lie out on the couch for an old faithful, we all love to sit down and allow escapism to take us somewhere more digestible than the real world. Some movies are meant to inspire; others are meant to frighten. There are good bang, bang, shoot 'em ups, roaring comedies, and everything in between. However, movies are also the best teaching tools if you know how to pull the right themes and ideas while watching. Now, this doesn't mean you can get all you need to know from movies, but they are a great jumping-off point for learning some style, solving problems, or navigating adversity. This isn't like every other movie ranking; this one has a specific purpose.

There are thousands of movies in every category below to choose from, and curating your own go-to list will help you elevate your life on your own terms, but here are 15 movies every man should watch soon and often.
