Try this one. It'll save you from buying a $600 Dyson. Remember to keep the bedroom doors closed when this is running so the water stays in the air in the room. I know it's silly to say, but I can't believe how many people don't know this. I always had it on the nightstand next to her bed or on the dresser close by. It's not the prettiest thing, but it works. This one has a nightlight, I'd search for one without, if it's not for a child.

They last forever, too. I've had it years before she was born, still use it when she's sick. That's going on ten years now.
Clicked the link and low and behold its the original. I can't remember a time where one of those wasn't in the household. Best humidifier ever

Went on a bit of a binge yesterday on Pom Performance's site. Got a few CF goodies.

Side skirts, spoiler, front lip, and diffuser. I can't wait for Spring to roll around so I can get these on the beast.

Spend most of Saturday working on the 535, had 13 faulty codes come up all at once. After clearing them several times after checking the sources one by one only one was coming up at the end, cylinder #3 missfire, switched ignition coil from 3 to 2 and the code came back to 2, so ignition coils should be here on Wednesday, hopefully that's the problem 😀

Not a purchase I guess but my parents got my wife and I a 28 Blackstone for Christmas. It showed up early so I went ahead and set it up.

Arrived today. Programmed and installed in about 10 minutes - just in time for convertible season. (And it seems to work!)

3 years ago I would have been jealous. Wanted this for the E93, but refused to pay what they want for it. Hello remote closing of origami top and roof operation while driving.

I ordered it from Vivid Racing, which never shipped it - big PITA. I was going to skip it altogether for the same reason - price. But then the weather got nice and I kinda wanted it so...

Had I kept mine, I would have eventually pulled the trigger. I managed to get everything done I wanted with Carly, for the exception of closing with the fob.

Nice going. Great TV that I was actually considering to replace my 5yr old 80in LED downstairs with. However, I could not pass up on another Sony LED that went on a super deal for Cyber Monday. Although not OLED, it is a Bravia and 85in of 4K LED goodness! 😁

After going Sony OLED...there's no going back to LED (at least for me).
We have one remaining 4K LED Samsung and the black levels on that can't compare to OLED tech.

I have a Samsung almost 10 year old LED. What exactly am I missing?

I have several friends with OLED. Very nice and definitely overall the best PQ currently available. That being said... I am a Audio and Videophile. I can honestly say that there are several current LED TVs that will completely satisfy even the pickiest TV folks, including myself. For you having a 10yr old LED TV, damn near any current Mid Range 4K LED TV will blow you away. 😉
I've had a 6yr old 80in 1080p LED that still looks really good especially since it's calibrated. I have patiently awaited for a 85in 4K LED TV to hit a certain price point that I could justify the upgrade. I found it yesterday and ordered it. The room it will occupy can get bright or very dark so the sheer benefits of OLED aren't worth the cost for me. Especially since for 80in, you're looking at $5k and up.
Can I afford it? Sure. But can I justify it when I also have a 135in 4K Theater setup, nope. I'm quite excited about my new purchase and know it will definitely satisfy my family and I.

I believe I probably went with the same. Been waiting on a deal for something for the basement theater I’m building and just no good deals have come up. I was between the Samsung QN90 or the LG C1 OLED although I really wanted to go 85” and I was only considering the 77” LG because the larger one is just stupid $$.

Anyways no real deals on any of those over black friday weekend so ended up going with a Sony X91J 85”. Spec wise it seemed to be on par with the Samsung but was significantly less $$. I have a cheapo LG 85” at home in FL and honestly I like it apart from the black levels. I have a small 55” in the living room in NC a cheapo TCL and honestly, it has very impressive black levels compared to my LG and I believe it uses a Samsung QLED panel. I think I am good with that black level which from everything I’ve read the Sony should be on par with.

Now I actually need something to put it on… it’s coming Dec 7th.

BINGO! I talked with a buddy who owns a electronics drop ship business for years. When I called him up and asked what was the absolute Best 80in+ TV available for $2,500, he didn't even hesitate to recommend the very TV you Just mentioned and what I also ordered for $2,200. Although in full disclosure, he mentioned the Sony 77" OLED (mentioned a couple of posts up) for best PQ for $2,800, but giving up 8in in viewing screen. He said he too would go with the X91j. The LG C1 was also on my radar.
I was really wanting the 950H 85" or X95J, Sony's best 85" LED TVs, but for the additional $1,300 or so, was not justified or necessary.
But I absolutely was stuck on at least a 85in TV no matter what.
Fortunately I already own a large stand that will fit that beast of a TV.

Looks like I'm not the only one that can't downsize^ I have a 2 year old 82" Sammy and I'm looking at these OLEDs but could not go down to a 77"

So I was one of those people who decided the pandemic was the perfect time to finally shave my head last year, and I'm not looking back! I'm not completely bald, so I prefer the "5 o'clock shadow" over the "chrome dome" look. So the contoured foils like the Pitbull were out. I've been using a Wahl clipper for the past year, but honestly it's cumbersome and takes way to long to get an even buzz cut.

After months of searching I've finally found the perfect skull shaver for me! The Remington Shortcut Pro cut my cutting time in half and it's actually very satisfying. It's wide and contoured to your head and even waterproof!

Also picked up this little car at the dealer while I got some service done.
