I wouldn’t pay a premium for a name brand, the lesser known brands make great televisions.
I bought the 65" LG OLED about 3-4 yrs ago and am very happy with it.

Thanks all. Happy with our purchase. Our current smart tv stopped connecting to the Internet completely so it was time. 7 year old tv.

Yes and no. Televisions are very subjective. I can't watch cheap TVs. Too much motion sensitivity. If the refresh rate and fps isn't high enough, I see motion trails and blurring in almost all programming. Which I see watching hockey on roughly half of all TVs in bars. I don't skimp on TVs, work chairs, computer monitors, or bourbon.

All true. But you spelled "scotch" wrong.Yes and no. Televisions are very subjective. I can't watch cheap TVs. Too much motion sensitivity.

Hah. Fair point... I would also add hockey skates to that group. Never skimp on skates, either.

Awesome. OLED was the only option I considered coming from my Samsung plasma. It was a toss-up between the Samsung and LG. You'll love it.

It’s the first nice nice TV I’ve bought. Feels good man.
Have you guys been following this "Lost Submarine" story???? Wow. Stuck inside that cramped little tube with 5 other people isn't somewhere I'd want to be if everything is going right, let alone if things get problematic. I hope everyone is ok and they can get rescued.

WTF is goibg on?
The White Sox stench is of biblical proportions !
QUEBEC wildfires burning up the province in the Northwstern parts and it is hot and dry again today and tomorrow so fires could re-ignite .. and in Jasper in ALBERTA they just got 20cm of June Snowfall and the current temperature is 11degrees Celsius..
Crazy extremes of weather for is Canadians ....the Apocalypse is nigh?

I would like to get a new one eventually when sports starts getting broadcasted in 120 hz. But who knows when that will be. As of now it still looks and works amazing..

Had a good long weekend up in Whitehall, Michigan. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to unwind and with no expectation of doing anything. After speaking to my folks, they had kept track how many times we had previously been up there, so this trip marked the 20th summer that I went up there. Not bad for having been around for 39 summers. My son's fully indoctrinated to the area as well.
That being said, I'd recommend waiting until late July at least for the water to warm up. Lake Michigan was absurdly frigid, but thankfully Duck Lake and its channel into Lake Michigan was much more tolerable.

US Coast Guard found debris field that is likely from that submersible
Tragic that 5 people lost life but if it was implosion then that is instant death which would be far better than being trapped in tube with dwindling oxygen at bottom of ocean waiting to die.

Only they know what happened down there but i hope it was a quick death for all of them and they didn't suffer for long.
Would have been instantaneous. They never knew anything.

Right but they wouldn't have imploded instantly after losing connection with navigation. Wouldn't they have slowly sunk down to whatever depth-level they were at until pressure equalized and the tube popped?

Pressure at depth that contact was lost with them would have been something like this happening as soon as integrity of hull or window was breached

As soon as pressure equalization was lost in the sub, it would be instant death. At those depths there's 6000lbs of pressure per square inch on the sub.

No guys I’m asking if as soon as they lost communication with above is that the moment they died? Or were they stranded in that tube for a day or whatever with no communication and then the pressure equalized?
