Great classic Anime film in great quality. Both UHD and normal Blu-ray good for those without the latest players.

Great for TV Bias Lighting

LED strip plenty long for all but the largest TVs if only doing a single line. The wide variety of colors and brightness is nice. I generally only use a warm white and leave it alone, but options are great for other uses.

Good quality, odd cable choices
on January 21, 2022
Posted by: dstein
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good choice for a mid range system.
However, my model came with 3 CPU/EPS connectors and only 2 PCIe connectors. I've never seen a motherboard that needs 3 8-pin EPS connections. However, 3 PCIe GPUs are common now. Not sure if this is common with the latest models as it seems the older models came with 3 PCIe cables.

The EVGA SuperNOVA G+ Power Supplies have arrived. Launched in 2013, the EVGA SuperNOVA G1 power supplies have been among the longest-lasting and best-performing power supplies on the market. Despite only a few changes over the years, it's only fitting that these are due for an upgrade. Enter the G+, the new and improved fully-modular power supply line-up from EVGA with an 80+ Gold Efficiency rating.Compared to the EVGA SuperNOVA G1 power supplies, the G+ are up to 20mm shorter, feature 100% Japanese capacitors, are up to 20% quieter, have much tighter 12v. load regulation, and have a superior fluid-dynamic bearing fan. Combining a full set of current, voltage, and temperature protections with EVGA's World Leading 10-Year Warranty, the EVGA SuperNOVA G+ power supplies set the new Gold standard for performance and value.

OLED at the top of its game. From the big game to being in the game, no detail goes unseen. With advanced gaming technology like NVIDIA G-SYNC, you'll crush the competition. Self-lit pixels emit their own light for perfect black, intense color and stunning picture~paired with our best processor for even better picture quality. Only on OLED.

Top tier quality for the price
on January 21, 2022
Posted by: dstein
Verified Purchase:Yes
Held on to a mid range Samsung 1080p LCD TV for a decade. Finally went for an upgrade even knowing in a couple years there may be something better than LG OLEDs. I think most video standards; HDR, HDMI, etc have been widely adopted so now is a good time to purchase.
Been very happy with the picture quality. The only real thing I can still say is a negative on an OLED is the ABL (automatic brightness limiter). I watch a lot of anime and large areas of bright colors is common. You will occasionally see the screen to dim slightly where an LCD it would not. However, it is still way better than the ABL plasma TVs had though.
But as far as the highest quality TV you can buy right now and for a great price, it's hard to beat LG's offerings. And support for VRR/Gsync is excellent.

A basic small SSD great for an upgrade to an old laptop. Pricing has gotten so low it's an affordable solution to speed up an aging machine.

Great performance for the size and power
on January 21, 2022
Posted by: dstein
Verified Purchase:Yes
The nice middle ground of the RTX 30 series. The 3070 has great performance for the power draw. The founders only needs a single 8-pin PCIe connector, albeit adapted into the 12-pin unnecessarily. Chose it to put in a HTPC, so heat generation and size was a consideration. It has enough power for 4K60+ depending on the game.

Live action anime that actually works
on January 21, 2022
Posted by: dstein
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wasn't sure if this would be as good as I've heard from others. However, I ended up thoroughly enjoying the film. This is a rare example of a manga/anime successfully being made in live action. I do hope another movie is made to continue the story.

A family member's old wireless mouse finally gave up the ghost. Their new laptop has few USB ports so looked for a Bluetooth option. Synced up fine and they have been very happy with the size and feel.

Feature Rich for the Price
on July 15, 2021
Posted by: dstein
Verified Purchase:Yes
Fully featured motherboard. I'm using it with a 11400 and a PCIe 4.0 WD SN850 NVMe SSD. I picked Z590 over the more basic chipsets for the full PCIe bandwidth 11th gen Intel provides.
The BIOS is laid out well and tuning fan curves with the GUI provided is easy. Support for PCIE resizeable BAR is available for the latest GPUs.
As many Z590 boards can get pricey quickly, this overall has everything you really need. The Wifi model is only slightly more expensive if you need that. You can always buy a m.2 Wifi module and m.2 heatsinks if you need more.
