Installed it yesterday and watched the TNF game on it last night. Picture is straight up amazing!

Here is a snapshot of the TV at night in our family room. The content is from my Firestick 4K Max. Note details of the displayed image on the bottom are from the Sony display banner.

Neat fact for those that might not know. LG Display is the only company that actually manufactures OLED displays. The other companies buy LG displays and add their own bits to it. Anyway, carry on.

Truth.

Not according to Wikipedia...? Or am I missing something - Sony is listed as a manufacturer of OLED Panels:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._manufacturers

[edit] - I think you are correct and Wikipedia is wrong.....

I think that Wiki entry is wrong. I'm pretty certain LG Display is the only one that actually manufacturers the OLED panels. All the rest including Sony procure the panels from LG Display and add their own touch to it if you will. To be clear, I'm referring to televisions, not small devices.

Just did a quick search and found this for example:

"All Sony OLED tv's get their panels from LG Displays which is a LG company. But Sony uses its own processor and hardware to create the picture."

Same can be said about some of the other TV manufacturers. I worked with a guy from South Korea who had business with LG Display and told me that quite a long time ago.

ADDED NOTE: This is the problem with Wikipedia. Anyone can add whatever they want on their site so there has to be a lot of checking and confirming but who the hell is gonna do that? BTW, Wiki always requests money from me since I use their website occasionally. Like I said in an earlier thread, fuck that. I'm especially not paying for something that often times has incorrect information posted.

I preferred Samsung back in the Xbox/Xbox 360 days due to their partnership (or at least that's how I interpreted it) but also owned Panasonic and Sharp sets before ever giving Sony a shot. Finally got a 55" Sony and it's been such a great TV over the last 5 or so years that we recently got a 65" Bravia for upstairs. Owned Samsung monitors as well, but replaced everything with either LG IPS or LG VA's, so we should be good for a while. Now the only Samsung screen I own is a S21

Yeah I've owned a couple of Sharp Aquos LCD TVs in the past. Also had a Toshiba set. They were okay but I always came back to Bravia sets. Goes all the way back to when I lived in JP and their CRT sets even.

I just can't do Samsung for whatever reason. Not even a phone hence my new Pixel 6 Pro. I love it.

[AlpineBoost]

The Pixel 6 Pro is really nice. I had a Galaxy Nexus (developed by Google and Samsung) which I loved for whatever reason prior to getting a Galaxy S7. After over 5 years with the S7 I finally parted ways with it for a S21 on Verizon's Thanksgiving week deal as an even trade. I was pretty skeptical that I would actually receive $800 for an old S7, even though they said I would, yet was glad to see this message come through on Wednesday. While I'm sure it's not much different in size, I really went with the plain S21 due to it being on the smaller side.

Agreed.
So you got an S21 for $800 with the trade-in of your S7 or they gave you $800 credit towards a new S21? Sorry, I got confused there.

What I'm pleased about is the fact the Pixel 6 Pro is a relative bargain at $899 (128GB). Compared to the S21 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro (or whatever it's called), it's a steal IMHO. I came from an older Pixel 3 which was a great phone and much smaller. They gave me a $600 credit for a trade-in which surprised me. $300 out of pocket ain't bad at all.

It took me a while to get used to this monster sized phone but I like it now. Camera is phenomenal. I got used to having a more pure Android experience w/o all the crap that most manufactures force into their phones, including Samsung. Some features are exclusive to the Pixel which I like.

Magic Eraser feature is pretty cool.

They gave me $800 trade in for my S7 so the S21, which is normally $800 now, was completely free. Yeah, you got a good deal as well. I prefer a more pure Android experience as well but it is what it is... maybe I'll try again in another 5 years lol

That is a spectacular monitor! To $$$$ currently but like all electronics, it will reduce eventually.

Agreed. That's my hope as well.

Probably an immature impulse buy...but sometimes you gotta know how it's responding before track day.

Nice part - magnetizes right on the center speaker.

For Xmas....

A second 3D printer and some E85 goodies.

Cancelled season tickets when Manny Diaz was hired. He’s gone so I’m back.

Received my new video card 2 days ago. Extra power cables arriving today, so installation this evening. It's a monster! I can't wait!
