Shane is a professional photographer and he connects his laptop to a big screen TV to show clients their photos. But the colors are always off. How can he fix that. Leo says that color graders will work in a 30% gray room because it influences the reflective nature of the colors, especially when your laptop is using True Tone. And a TV is not calibrated the same as a computer monitor. So you could get a larger computer monitor, like a 5K iMac, or, you can get your TV professionally calibrated. Scott Wilkinson says that a PC calibration tool called a specrtra radiometer could work.

Mike would like to be able to control multiple speakers in an open house with his iPhone. Is that doable? Leo says that the key is keeping all the speakers in sync. Sonos was the first to do it right with multi-room sound. All speakers are completely wireless and can be put into party mode, where all are playing the same music in sync. Sonos isn't cheap though.

Doug just bought a new, two story house and he needs a mesh router. What's the best? Leo says that mesh routers have taken over because Wi-Fi congestion causes devices to drop off. It's not uncommon to have over 50 devices connected to Wi-Fi! And that doesn't include neighbors. So Doug will need a better router to handle that traffic. Leo says the three best mesh routers for his money are the Netgear Obi, the Plume, and the Eero.
