    Would you ever go back to LCD after experiencing OLED?

    Anyone else interested in the XR90? I will always keep a OLED around but still have a soft spot for the HDR impact that only miniLED can provide.

    Target joins Best Buy and discontinues sales of DVD's and Blurays

    Yeah it's a combination of the mainstream adopting streaming and also shopping in person isn't really necessary anymore. I order all my physical media (4k bluray) from online vendors why waste time and gas going to the store

    What do we think of Sony moving away from OLED and back to LED?

    I hope it's true that Sony is working to produce something special with LCD again! I think the last time they really *tried* was on the venerable Z9D. Backlight master drive was a real thing but Sony quietly shelved it to save money when they shifted focus to OLED. The term was still...

    Are you happy with win 11?

    Tried it for about 6 months but didn't have a good experience. Weird hitches and lags. My SSD was also declining in performance at the time so that didn't help. Ended up going back to Win 10 LTSC and replaced the ssd with optane. Smooth sailing ever since

    LG C2 OLED vs QN90B...can't decide...!?!

    I like OLED for the home theater scenario it's unbeatable for that job...dark room, non static and varied content. For a gaming/PC use I would get LED though. I'm just not willing to give up the freedom of having zero regard for what is on the screen and for how long. There's really...

    Qnap NAS died...better alternatives.

    I feel better with DIY builds I can tinker with. Easier to upgrade or replace faulty parts should it be necessary. If your requirements aren't too heavy though then the prebuilt little appliances can make sense

    Check the endurance rating for your drive. Think my most used drive is 1TB capacity with about 200TBW so far. Still works fine.

    Lian Li all brushed aluminum cases

    Lian Li PC-65! That was the first case I actually thought looked good enough to bother with installing cold cathode lights ha. Loved that brushed aluminum look. Coolermaster and Lian Li were battling for supremacy back then I was fond of these too

    Doing TV Review And Calibration Videos Now

    Good stuff classy! I think the 83" C1 might be a winner if you have room for it. On one hand I'm glad that Sony stepped up their game this year with things like the heatsink on the a90J, but I fear they might be overdoing it with all that processing. Some people might like that artificially...

    Is it time to say goodbye to 1440p?

    I really don't like gaming under 100fps so I'll probably stick with 1440p for now.

    Thoughts on 240hz IPS Monitors

    They're legit. Not as fast as TN but a good compromise between speed and picture quality. I was not comfortable with 27" 1080p though. 24.5" 1080p IPS 240hz is coming soon

    Looking for 4K display with non-dull image typical of matte displays

    You'll want something that is semi-glossy. There's also some "low haze" monitors (HP?) that are like 2-3% haze rating from 3M. Antiglare coatings have always distorted screen clarity, but fortunately they're not AS bad as they were 10 years ago. My god the sparkle and "dirty" whites used to...

    Do any of you prefer 27" 1080p over 24"?

    I think it depends how far your eyes are from the display. If you like 1080@27" you might be ok with 1440@32 or so. 1440p @ 27" is a sweet spot for me. 24" was too small.

    Check out HDTVTest channel on YT for video reviews. Rtings is good for comparisons and measurements. Unless it's going in a super bright room or you can't trust kids/wife to not abuse the TV then I'd go OLED. Sony has more accurate colors and the processor is generally regarded as the best...
