If I was the restaurant owner I would have paid my waiter to give that slob completey awful service. Fuck up the easiest parts of their order, take a long time with everything, cut them off while they’re talking.

I need to catch this feud. The main roster is really starting to bore me. My son and I have been watching NXT matches and 205 Live matches here and there. Their matches blow the main roster matches out of the water. 

Team Hell No, though.   

Since this is making people re-add avatars, we’re all technically winners!

As far as blacks and color LCD won't ever compare to plasma. OLED is the next step when compared to plasma.

QLED seems to be mostly acceptable. I’d rather go OLED but the trade off of no fear of burn-in is enticing

Yeah those extra 10" are killer. It's a reason I settled for the X900E. I was able to get a 75" or $2,200 on Amazon. Had a defect on the X900E and Sony warranty replaced it with a 75" X900F because they X900E is discontinued. 

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

I'm also thinking of getting a Camaro next as my trade off between impractical sports car and something I could actually afford. Will help that I will soon be living in Arizona where it will be cheaper to have. I just wonder if I'd be giving up too much comfort and everyday drivability if I did that, as I've actually ever only 3 cars my entire life, and all 3 have boring, practical, reliable Honda's. At some point, I want to get a little crazy. 

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.

I want to be an insane person with money

@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

I might have to get something like that used when the time comes to save money. It does make me wonder what made someone get rid of it so fast though

People with money are insane. They probably regretted not getting the blue one or something. I'm being serious.

@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

 I have no idea at this time, as my next goal is to actually buy a house in the next year or two so I probably won't even bother looking at a new cars for awhile. But I definitely want something with 4 doors that's reasonably fast, and I hate buying anything used. But I do love cars so I'm always looking and drooling and dreaming. An E63 would definitely work, minus the whole I cant afford it part. 

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.

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)

I have no idea what I want for my next car. My inner white boy has always wanted a truck, but every time I drive my dads and try to park the damn thing I get over it real quick. I would like a sports sedan with good performance, but don't want to spend 70 grand on anything either. Oh well, my I've only had my Honda a year and a half so I have plenty of time to think about it.

What’s your budget? RWD, AWD? Auto, DC, Manual? New, used? Brand preference? Speed preference?

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!?!?

You bought this right? How long is the shipping expected to take? I'm moving in two weeks and want it there asap in the week I have off to move. Hopefully this still have this deal when I'm ready to move.

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.

3+ grand for the new 65 inch LG doe, the Sony x900F is closer to my price range, unless I get a last year model for the OLED. Hmmm

 

So the OLED is better, but is it $1000+ better?

$3k+???

How’s $2.3?

This is the glare of my B7A

 

 

And this is the glare of my X900F

 

 

My living room is much brighter than my bedroom where the B7A is. I'd say the anti reflection is much better on the LG but like @nacthenud said it doesn't get as bright as the X900F.

But how’s the glare while it’s on?

I hope they're HDMI 2.1 compliant since it was finalized a few months back.

I have never personally owned a plasma, so I can't really speak to that, but I can tell you that the LG B7 OLED has a glossy, not matte, screen so it can pick up reflections, but the anti-glare coating on the screen generally does a good job and I've never had any complaints about mine.  The only time I see a reflection is if I have a light directly behind me, like my hall light - then I can see it in the screen, but I don't get any glare from the lights above in the same room or the windows from the side when the blinds are up.

 

If you're going to be watching it with a bright window directly across from the TV behind where you're sitting, then an OLED isn't going to be the best choice anyway, because you want something brighter - ie a very bright LED LCD.

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.

I was hoping a little for 3D. I have some movies in 3D that are nice. So now I guess 3D movies will be only in my PSVR for now.

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? 

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".  

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...  

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).
