I am jelly. I am looking at houses so that I can fit an 82"!!!

I don't think I had to do much with mine but these on the internet are always nice to try out.

yeah, i stole some calibration settings from the interwebs & it looks good. biggest pain in the arse (other than physically getting it down to the basement & set up) was figuring out the awful remote, which kept trying to take me to the samsung smart menu instead of my damn cable/tivo box.

No good sir; I was referring to the tampon string hanging down that says your house is clearly ragging.

if my man cave is on the rag, i have some serious issues. :unsure:  

 

i still gotta hide the wires...ethernet coming down from the ceiling as well as the hdmi & power cord on the right side...going up to the 2nd tv. lots of time for that.

Good set-up Hunt.  I’d imagine the d’s are gonna look pretty big when you watch porn on that thing.

you had to switch out  this  flimsy plastic overlay depending what you were watching. when wizard of oz would come on, it was a b**ch.

that $3500 price is GREAT! Memorial Day sales may offer up something... but the 2020s have been out for a while so a lot of retailers are no longer listing our Q90 model on their websites any more, so you may have had timing of things line up perfectly for you!

I might have 4 TVs boxed up and currently somewhere in a Minnesota storage unit for when I move into an apartment. I may be living in a long-term stay hotel. But when I’m in Best Buy and they have a 55” Q70 as "open box” (I think the box was literally opened... power cord, remote, battery untouched and all the tape/stickers/grab protectors still on it.... probably didn’t fit one someone’s entertainment center or the size wasn’t right) for $650 marked down from $1000, you grab it!

That's a fairly large and mostly empty bottle of lube. But hey.. you do you.  Pun intended.

Model: QN82Q90RAFXZA

 

thanks, brah! 

so, after searching and searching, its damn near impossible to find a Q90R anywhere. I saw one on ebay with "free shipping" but listed by a d00de with ZERO feedback, so nah not testing out that trap. Talked to Best Buy guys a week ago when I switched my account to this Beta plan, and then again today due to seeing some 4th of July sales and already stopping at a place next door to the store.

sooo... I will be losing the One Connect which I heart ever so much (especially because I always end up wall mounting), but I decided to replace my 65" Q90R with a 75" QN90A (they have a 2021 Q90A, but the QN90A uses their new mini-LED screen.. supposedly 1/40th the size of a normal LED). I choose next Saturday for delivery because my apartment is undergoing renovations this whole week so I hope to report back on amazing picture a week from now!
