  1. Since this is making people re-add avatars, we’re all technically winners!
  2. QLED seems to be mostly acceptable. I’d rather go OLED but the trade off of no fear of burn-in is enticing
  3. If I didn't have a Plasma I would happily go for the Sony X9xx series. I've heard stories from Panny Plasma and Pioneer Kuro owners who went to the X9xx and XBR Sony 4ks and they immediately sold them and hooked their Plasma back up
  4. Visibility in the Camaro is absolutely awful. I would suggest looking at the new 2018+ Mustang for practicality. The updated 2018 Mustang outperforms the non-ZL1 Camaro anyway. But honestly, test drive, test drive, test drive!!! EDIT: If it's not your daily driver, then the Camaro would probably be okay, but if it's your everyday car then I highly suggest getting a good amount of time behind the wheel of one first. The visibility is VERY poor and not something I would personally want to deal with in a DD car. A used GT350 is another option in the low-$50k range.
  5. @Mr.Vic20 No, really, there are a lot of people who buy these types of cars, get bored and switch to something else and do not care about the loss through depreciation in even the slightest. It's mind-boggling. If I didn't want a very specific set of options for my 2019 Mustang GT, I'd just look for a low-mileage used one and grab one that already depreciated
  6. People with money are insane. They probably regretted not getting the blue one or something. I'm being serious.
  7. @Dodger And I know you don't like used but... barely 6k miles and under $50k, single owner and under warranty: https://www.carmax.com/car/15768304
  8. Audi S4. Affordable as it's like $50k less than a E63 (the S4 goes for $53-62k pending on options). It's fast (Audi advertises a 4.4sec 0-60 but most people get 4.0-4.2). It's AWD so it's fine in bad weather. It has 4 doors.
  9. My fiancé’s parents new 2018 Explorer that I found for them (used with 700 miles): The interior and features honestly crap on the 2018 Audi Q7s that were there (which cost $22k more... also used... with 2k more miles)
  10. What’s your budget? RWD, AWD? Auto, DC, Manual? New, used? Brand preference? Speed preference?
  11. Hmmm SO I THINK what I may do is jump on a 65” Q9FN if I see the price drop below $2.3k, otherwise I’ll just wait for HDMI 2.1 OLEDs. I really want to go 75” or larger but two things are stopping me: my entertainment center is one with a built-in mount, and it looks like the largest it can fit is a 65”, and seemingly any replacement also has a 65” limitation for whatever reason. The other thing that is stopping me... the price difference is INSANE. The OLEDs jump up by over $5k to around $9k for the 77”, and the QLED jumps to around $6k for a 75”... the F!?!?
  12. This is a different deal than what was originally posted in my other thread. I decided to wait for 2019 models as I rarely upgrade my TV and should wait for HDMI 2.1 next year. These deals do not last long, whatever eBay lists as the expected arrival time is usually pretty accurate so I would suggest not waiting.
  13. $3k+??? How’s $2.3? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F253660266411
  14. I think that the Panny Plasmas didn't even have anti-glare due to their nature. Sounds like it's a LOT better than my plasma in regards to dealing with a well-lit room.
  15. I really don't want to hear about your porn collection. Seriously, though, that sucks. 3D is probably dead until glassless 3D is perfected and adopted. When done correctly it's such a good effect, IMO. I am planning on getting a second TV for another room in the house, I guess I'll just make sure that one supports 3D. One more question, is the OLED like Plasma in regards to screen glare/reflections?
  16. Here's a ridiculous question: I actually like watching 3D movies on occasion... Does the QLED or OLED even support 3D playback? I'm guessing "no".
  17. I actually don't believe that people who work in the Trump administration should be denied service at restaurants... but, if the staff decides to mess with their food... well...
  18. Last week I was helping my fiance's parents find a new car. I found a 2018 Ford Explorer Platinum (highest trim, and fully loaded minus the DVD headrest option) used with just 700 miles (693) for only $44k. New they go for $55-60k, so basically, the depreciation was already paid for. It was at an Audi dealership in Warrington, Pa, so we went out there on Friday to get it for her mom. Her parents were running a little late so I checked out an Audi S5 Cabriolet (convertible) while we were waiting. I really loved the S4 I test dove last year, but this S5 seemed to have a "not as nice" interior despite it's $80k price-tag (the S4 was around $53-55k IIRC), I'm guessing this is to "weatherproof it" since it's a convertible. Anyway, the car certainly didn't seem as fast as the S4 despite having the same engine/specs but was still fun to drive. However, the coolest damn feature was that the seats had a vent where the backrest meets the headrest... It was cool that morning and only in the high 60s with low humidity, however, having the heated-seat enabled makes so hot air blows out of that vent and onto your neck so you can drive with the top down in cooler climates. If you have the cool-seat enabled it does the opposite, having cold air blow on your neck to keep you cool on a hotter day with the top down. Pretty awesome feature. The other bit that I liked, even though I know a lot of convertible cars do this (just not Mustangs ), was that you can have the top go up or down while driving - speeds of up to 30mph allow you to raise or lower the top so you don't need to pull over (the top auto latches or auto unlatches too).
