Sorry. This is my conspicuous consumption period after years in furnished corporate rentals. It'll settle down.

When you (and SWMBO) have it "just so"

The first shipment of the 77" G7 OLEDs hit the West Coast distributor today and was gone inside an hour, but I got one.  

Well done!  So what's the first thing you're going to watch on it?

[Hopstretch]

Golf?

Now you mention it, I hardly ever watch TV.

[Grahame]

Some 4K UHD/HDR "reference material' to calibrate the flesh tones?

I mean Blue Planet II,

Of course.

(wonders if Under the Skin, Gravity, or Ex Machina is out in 4K yet)

Don't let it settle down! Some of us live vicariously.

65" lg e6 on amazon for $3000 currently.

Some gear has arrived.

For 'Stretch values of "Some".

I bought an HC-approved car three years ago (MKVI GTI) and have not regretted it for a moment.  Just sprung for an HC-approved TV (55" C6) and absolutely love it.  I know the B6 is far more popular, but I dig the curve and it suits my space well.

Thanks for the great advice again, hive mind.  We are all terribly flawed as individuals, but as a group we are perfect.

Also, side note, I live in Virginia again.

Done and done.  I miss Istanbul already.

Welcome back stateside and congrats on the fantastic TV.  I wish the budget would have supported OLED but it's not to be for a year or three.  And I don't know that we're quite terribly flawed as individuals.  Flawed to be sure, but this is a pretty great bunch overall donchathink?  I try to explain d-_-b to folks from time to time and honestly, this group pretty much defies description.

Fired up and Ethernet connected. Looks pretty good right out of the box.

Color me super green.

I need a change of pants. 

Enjoy! Certainly green like Nate.

I think I might spike the curve on that one.

You need to black out those pesky windows. One cannot have reflections undermining overall screen resolution.

Blinds are on order. The kids already worked out how to find YouTube on it, so I'll probably never get to use anyway.

Making me feel wholly inadequate with my two year old 55EF9500.

 

Congrats, what a set.

Is my beloved but also very aged Pioneer plasma dead?  Vertical lines and extra green tint appear on all inputs.  I checked and unplugged / replugged all connections. Here is what it looks like:

Well, it's not a good sign.  It's probably reparable.

Strangest thing. After spending thirty minutes screwing around and resetting to factory settings and then posting, the screen clicked and is back to a beautiful picture. Wishes do come true.

I told you that it was probably reparable.
