Great movie and definitely worth the price (goes on sale around $6-8 regularly). The animation is excellent and it really brings you back to the older Harlock series.

To unleash the full potential of the new Intel 10-core CPU, the motherboard requires the best CPU power design. With the best quality components and GIGABYTE R&D design capability, Z490 AORUS MASTER is a true beast among motherboards.

Great board. Stable, No Issues.

So far so good. I have had problems with both Asus and Gigabyte motherboards in the past (being DOA or other problems) but there have been no problems with this one. I have this with an i9 10900k, RTX 3080 and 64gb of 3600mhz memory and there have been no stability issues with mild overclocks or stock configurations.
I appreciate the added PCIE 4.0 support that will allow me to drop in a rocket lake cpu when I feel the need to upgrade and get 4.0 support for the graphics card and one nvme drive from the cpu lanes, without having to move to a z5xx board later on.
One thing that used to bother me about my previous mobo, which was an Asus, is that the XMP overclock would occasionally fail to load and I would have to go back into bios to reset it before going into Windows. Whether that was a firmware issue or not I can't say but it was frustrating and issues like that are not here.
I was able to setup a custom fan curve for 4 pmw noctua case fans and the 2 on my noctua nh-d15 cpu cooler and everything is quiet and running great. I also have 6 HDDs and 3 SSDs (2 of those are nvme installed directly on the board under the heatshield).
Only minor issue I have is if you want to get access to the nvme slots you have to take out your graphics card. I installed one nvme drive when I built the system and then added a second which meant I had to take out the 3080 and remove the entire bottom heatshield on the board. But it's not that big of a deal as it's just something you'll be doing one time or very infrequently.
Overall, no problems and although it's a bit pricey I don't have a problem recommending it if you plan to OC or need more support for additional drives and whatnot.

The PRIME Series has always demonstrated outstanding performance and have become the epitome of technological excellence and quality through the years. This generation of PRIME Series rolled out not only with a uniformed naming scheme but also with updated general design and connection cables.

Excellent PSU! Super Quiet and Lots of Connections

So far it's been an excellent PSU. I have this in a system with an i9 10900k and RTX 3080, 64gb of ram along with about 6 HDDs, 3 SSDs and some other USB peripherals and it has no issues - the system is stable. There are enough power connections and cables provided here that I can't see someone needing much more than this.
Also, Seasonic has some excellent customer service because they had a form to fill out online to get a new custom 12-pin cable designed for the RTX 3080 out to me within a week, so that I didn't need to use the nvidia adapter for it and could just use one cable straight from the PSU.
I also got a bit of a bigger PSU than I needed to keep the times the fan ramps up in hybrid mode down as well, so that probably has some affect on it. I did this because I was worried about reports online about potential noise with the Hong Hua fans that Seasonic has historically used,
But this thing has been silent from the start and they either changed those fans or the noise issue has been dealt with because the times it does kick in it's very quiet.

So far no issues, ran a few short and long tests and there were no issues, filled to almost max capacity and it reads well. No issues and no complaints!

Excellent TV to use as a PC monitor!
on September 11, 2020

TLDR: Fantastic TV that I am using as a PC monitor (gaming and productivity).
So, I was debating whether to replace my dying 144hz 2560x1440 Acer XB270HU monitor with a new 3440x1440 ultrawide or make the jump to 4k sinc eI've been at 1440p for a long time. An OLED TV wasn't an option I was considering at first because of how big TVs are and some of the downsides they potentially have as a computer monitor, like how you need to baby them a bit to avoid things like burn-in.
I spent a lot of time reading user reviews of ultrawides and the 48in LG CX, and ultimately I ended up trying both. I got the LG 34GN850 first, and while that was a fantastic monitor it had multiple dead/bright pixels so I had to return it. Then I went for the LG CX 48. It's big, and I need to sit around 40 inches away from it to to be usable in gaming/productivity (text is still really small at default 100% Windows scaling on the 48 CX, but it's readable and sharp enough and higher scaling sometimes causes problems so I only use it if I have to).
We won't have an HDMI 2.1 GPU out til next week to take full advantage of the 4k 120hz with VRR, but even gaming at 4k 60hz on this is a blast. The colors look great, there's also more customization options to dial in the picture to your preferences than typical PC monitors as well. I typically play single player RPG and FPS games, as well as MMOs and I have had no problems aside from poor in game scaling due to 4k, which is a developer issue most of the time (small text, UI elements don't scale well to 4k, and so on.
All in all, I'm happy with it so far and as long as 4k 120hz Gsync works properly with the new RTX 3080/3090 I'll have no complaints. If you are considering using this strictly as a PC monitor I would consider the 5 year geek squad protection plan though, since it covers burn-in and you might eventually run into that problem.

What is the distance from the back of the TV to the very front of the TV stand?

Slightly under 10 inches from the back of the stand to the front of the stand. Although, the very front of the stand that touches my desk is wider at about 30-31 inches than the back which is closer to 16 at the furthest most narrow point. LG's website has seemingly accurate dimensions with/without the stand and RTINGS has a nice review that also covers dimensions. Hope that helps.
