Black Friday & Cyber Monday

Great price for some AirPods Pro 2 (there’s a fruther £30 off the price).

LOL. That’s only a penny under!

On the other hand, as I made no caveats, it absolutely qualifies under the terms I set.

I therefore happily stand corrected, with no complaints made and only apologies. :sweat_smile:

Do people only shop on size for their TV these days?

I get right down into all the detail when comparing mine to ensure the picture is the best possible.

The LG are top of the top really, so either @michaelw90 lucked into that, or he’d done the research to get to this point.

Me when I’m working out what TV I should buy:

I know what I want, and what I don’t want. What I’m willing to compromise on and what’s a deal-breaker. I drill down into as many detailed reviews as I can, and leave no stone unturned. And I know my budget.

It took me literally years to buy my last TV, from starting research to finally pulling the trigger.

As @Revels says, the LG TV above is one of the good ones. While it doesn’t quite suit me personally, I have no problem in recognising that it is more than adequate for many people’s needs. I absolutely would have called it out for being a shit TV as well as only being a penny under if that was the case, but it’s absolutely not. It is a good quality TV as well as sneaking under an arbitrary budget.

This is £189.

I’d wager that lots do.

I’ve previously bought a £400 65" TV because it was dirt cheap. Cheap TVs are very decent these days and many people do not care / wouldn’t notice all the things that nerds care about.

A bigger TV is a super noticeable and always relevant improvement relative to things like shadow detail, blooming etc which some people cannot even see and only matter in some contexts.

Gessing you didn’t folow the link.

I updated my post. I didn’t even realise that the link preview shows the normal price.

Size IS important, regardless of what your other half (or other two thirds) may say.

Before we all get too carried away…

It’s the main consideration for me.

Once the size is sorted, I look at what I consider to be “good” makes (Sony, Samsung, LG, Panasonic etc) and pick a mid range price from them.

I buy a lot of refurbished stuff but headphones/earphones are a step too far!

Quick clean with something like this?

Hopefully it’s only ones that people have tried once and sent back straight away, which would have a high economic and ecological cost to break down and recycle already. As opposed to ones which have been well used for months on end…

I sold a pair of AirPods on eBay and I certainly didn’t clean them as well as Apple will/would.

I’d rather buy cheaper ones!

All Apple refurbished gear comes with new batteries and casing so no issue for me.

That said, no reason why I’d take that over actually new AirPods from Costco with 90 day returns and two year warranty.

In case anyone is looking for a BIG monitor.

Or a REALLY BIG monitor!

I need TV’s with 5 HDMI ports… I do not want to use a splitter.

Xbox Series X, PS5, Switch, Sky Stream, Apple TV

Here’s me living with 2 HDMI, one always occupied by Google, then the other swapped between PS5, Xbox and switch :melting_face:

Any recommended HDMI switches?
