Sam's is selling a 85" for $800. Not really interested right now. No Sam's membership.
But this foreshadows BF. Have to believe there'll be more 85" options this year for around this budget price. Wouldn't mind picking up a 85" for the basement (while waiting for that 98"). Quote:

First time in a long time where I've felt like upgrading my 2017 Model S. My car has unlimited supercharging and FSD which I would lose both of those perks if I upgraded. There is zero chance I would spend the $15,000 on FSD nowadays, but being able to transfer it from my old to the new is a big deal on top of these price cuts. I'll probably keep my car for at least a couple more years, but I am actually tempted to go down that path now. Interest rates put a damper on a purchase as well. |

It's that time of year again. Anything special you guys are looking at?
My main target is a couple gym mirrors for the basement. Also, a nice to have cheap, big screen 75/85" for basement/home gym. Currently have a pretty old 65" downstairs so not a must have. Maybe pickup some 4k blu-rays for my collection. |

I bought a pair of OTE headphones for travelling for about $75 off that will be my Christmas present.

I bought a laptop to play FOF9. My Surface Pro 7 is too small to see in my old age.

Make $900.
If you have $15,000 lying around in a traditional bank, making little interest; and have a $500 monthly direct deposit, you can make $900 in 3 months. Basically, Chase bank is offering $900 if you open a checking & savings account at the same time. You need to keep the $15k in savings for 3 months. Offer expires 4/17. OPEN YOUR CHASE ACCOUNT TODAY | CHASE This seems specifically geared for me. I am in the process of moving from Wells Fargo to Capital One 360. We may take a side detour and use Chase Bank for 3 months, collect the $900, and then move to 360. Wife and I will split it 50-50 and it'll help buy my dive computer (or next laptop)! We won't stay at Chase because their interest rates sucks like Wells Fargo. But can't beat $900 for 3 months and a little paperwork. Last edited by Edward64 : 01-27-2024 at 09:00 AM. |

I was at Costco this morning.
There were numerous 85"+ TVs. I'm guessing it'll be the new standard soon, superseding the 65" and 75". I was going to buy some more ribs but unfortunately it was a 20 min wait. So just got the rotisserie chicken instead. Last edited by Edward64 : 03-17-2024 at 04:55 PM. |

Excited about the new Garmin Fenix 8 models coming out tomorrow. There is new scuba/dive functionality (which was only available in their dedicated diving model Mk3 series). I’m getting serious about scuba and need a backup that is an everyday wear also.
Garmin Fenix 8 video leak fuels excitement ahead of launch For runners, some decent Garmin Forerunner sales right now. See slickdeals.net below File Not Found - Slickdeals.net Unfortunately, prob around $1-$1.2k |

Not going to get one this year, but I've noticed some OLEDs 75", 85" at around to $1,600 - $2,500. From what I've seen at Costco/BestBuy, OLEDs images are really, really great.
Anyone here have one? As good as I think they are? Wish list for the family this year ... 1) Roomba or like. Probably 2, one for the basement also 2) Solar generator 3) Husqvarna Automower or like. I saw a lot of these in Norway, and I mean a lot. Everyone I spoke to was happy with theirs. Probably Spring, need to do more research |

I have 4 OLED televisions and an OLED gaming monitor. Once you go black, you cannot go back

Burn in is largely a thing of the past due to advancements in the tech. A gaming monitor will probably end up with burn in eventually if you don't take certain measures (black background, hide taskbar), but as long as your content is varied (no talking heads all day) it will take a long time before it's an issue on a newer television.

Best Buy as a 97 inch one on sale right now for only $25 thousand dollars. What a bargain!

My cousin has a 77" OLED and it looks great, but hard to imagine how you could need/fit anything larger through the door.

Are the lower priced OLED TVs close to the higher priced ones? I saw some fairly cheap and didn't know if it was "fake OLED" or something. I know jack squat about TVs.
This is the one I was looking at. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-48-c...?skuId=6584787 Last edited by RainMaker : 10-25-2024 at 03:15 PM. |

Greentoe.com is the cheapest way to buy these TVs. Used it 3 years ago to get a great deal on a 83" A90J. I love seeing all these 98"+ TVs becoming affordable as it should only help when it comes to large format OLEDs becoming more affordable.

Heh, I also got the same TV on greentoe. Thankfully, I've never had issues getting large TVs online. I don't know how you'd box and send these things back if you ran into an issue. But definitely cheaper than Best Buy plus taxes

Anyone see good laptop deals? I'm thinking of getting a new one to run Civ 7 on, and I have no idea what would be good for it and how much it should cost.

This is one of my favorite websites to look at reviews for laptops - Notebookcheck.net. Check out the lists based on what you are looking for that are on the right-hand side of the website. I feel like it's a weird time with Laptops but that might be because I haven't been in the market for a year and a half so I'm not up on the times. |

Wife and I are seriously thinking about below as a Christmas present to ourselves. The Gordon Ramsey "hexclad" is too pricey and this Henckel generic pricing is more palatable.
https://www.costco.com/henckels-para...000209381.html I've read the reviews and know the "hex" is not as good as teflon but still pretty decent. The big ding is not able to cook eggs without oil/butter and that's not a real issue with me. My question is - does anyone have one of these? Other than cooking eggs, any issues with it? Durability, cleaning etc. concerns? Last edited by Edward64 : 11-08-2024 at 01:13 PM. |

Hex style are prone to peeling/flaking from what I understand. I have some non-stick from a Danish company called Scanpan that I swear by, which uses a proprietary coating, but they're about 2-3 times as expensive as those Costco pans (even on sale, which they usually are). Lifetime warranty, for whatever that is worth.
