Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm glad I held out for an OLED TV; the picture on this monster is simply stunning. I never liked the muddy, washed-out pictures on LED-LCD sets, so when I upgraded from my old plasma I definitely wanted an OLED. Blacks are absolutely BLACK, not dark grey. Since it's installed in a darkened room, highlights are plenty bright, and with it's integral heatsink, it's supposed to be one of the brightest OLEDs out there.
I surprised how much 4K content is available online. Upscaled HD looks good, too. I'm eager to try out using the screen as a center channel speaker once I get my AV receiver set up.
There have been reports of some problems with the LG-supplied panels on the online forums, but mine is fine, and people are reporting that Sony is swapping in new TVs no problem.

With six shade settings, the Cuisinart 2-Slice Metal Classic Toaster makes breakfast just the way you like it. The smooth brushed stainless steel housing with polished chrome and black accents looks sleek in any kitchen and toasts anything the way you love. Use the custom controls to defrost and toast bagels, bread, and pastries to perfection!

Weird bagel setting; doesn't tell you on the box
on November 21, 2020
Posted by: OregonBagelLover
We just bought this and tested it when we got it home; it's going back. On our old toaster (a Brevell that lasted many years), and every other toaster I've seen that has a Bagel button, only toasts the center in Bagel mode. So I was surprised when all 4 coils lit up. Sure enough, the Owners Manual says that the only thing the Bagel Mode button does is keep the toaster on longer. Huh?
It would have been nice if they mentioned this odd behavior on the outside of the box, so we knew about it before bringing it home.

Didn’t work
By lnbre
This didn’t work - does not fit the serial port on my monitor. The product description needs to be modified to be more specific for this item.

Monitors don't have serial ports
July 21, 2021
Monitors don't have RS-232 serial ports. You can't use this cable on VGA serial ports. Don't slam the product just because you bought the wrong one.

Don't be fooled!!
By LouisFriel
I called them to get my TV serviced because there were lines running through the picture because I purchased the plan. They asked me to send a photo and diagnosed it as accidental damage without even bringing it in for service. They don't tell you up front the plan does not cover accidental damage; bad business.

It says right in the Terms and Conditions that accidental damage is not covered. What do you mean that they "don't tell you up front"? It's right there in plain English.

DUNE DVD: “Half Off”
By HalfOff
Very unhappy to discover that this Dune DVD was only the first half of the movie!!! Nowhere on the cover or initial description does it tell you this is NOT the complete movie. Only after discovering this fact “the hard way”, did I find in the description detail that this was only “part one”. Sure would have been nice if that info would have been on the cover.
, where it belongs.

This is part one, not the "first half"
January 13, 2022
I guess you didn't see it in the theaters. This is the whole movie as shown in theaters. It is indeed a "part 1", with a promised sequel to be relapsed in the future. They can hardly be faulted for not putting something on a disc that doesn't exist.

Will this router work with a dsl internet service? I just tried to set up a new router but it was not a dsl router and thus had to return it

For DSL, you need to have a DSL modem connected to your phone line. Most DSL modems also include a router function, and Wi-Fi. This unit is just the router, with Wi-Fi. You could use this with a DSL modem to expand your home network, but you need to get a DSL modem that's compatible with your DSL service.

Hi, Sony had come out with a flush wall mount bracket for the 77A9G. Does that bracket work with this tv? If not, is Sony planning on releasing a similar bracket? thank you.

It has a standard 400mm X 400mm VESA hole pattern, so any wall mount that supports that pattern and is rated for the weight (96 lbs.) should work. I got this one from Best Buy. I like that it you can mount it to three studs, and that it pulls out from the wall a little to assist with connecting cables: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sanus-elite-series-advanced-tilt-tv-wall-mount-for-most-46-95-tvs-extends-5-9-black/6212437.p?skuId=6212437

AudioQuest Vodka 48 8K-10K 48Gbps HDMI cable combines superior materials and thoughtful design to create a deeply immersive entertainment experience. Featuring solid 10% Silver conductors that have been direction-controlled for the most efficient dissipation of high-frequency noise, AudioQuest Vodka 48 is meticulously designed for enhanced sound quality and outstanding overall performance. Of course, all AudioQuest 48Gbps HDMI cables can transfer up to professional 10K Ultra HD video, support Dynamic HDR, and have the conductors and bandwidth required for eARC~s enhanced sonic capabilities. Taking performance even further, in AudioQuest HDMI cables, the ARC-channel conductor pair is internally controlled for direction, running in the opposite direction from the four pairs that carry information to the TV, to ensure superior audio performance.
 

who is in the world is stupid enough to pay this much for an HDMI cable

Not stupid, just uneducated in electrical theory. Electrical engineers like myself know that you evaluate and specify digital I/O transmission lines with objective metrics such as Bit Error Ratio and Eye patterns, not flowery language and nonsensical buzzwords. Not stupid, but they apparently think the engineers that wrote the HDMI 2.1 specification and the Premium Cable certification program are so incompetent and stupid that a multi-$100 cable is needed to properly implement it, even over a distance this short.

In reality, you can buy Premium HDMI cables that have gone through the Certification program of the HDMI organization for 1/50 of this price. Even at 12 Gbps per pair (48 Gbps total), sending ones and zeros error-free over 7.5 feet ain't that hard. Note that AudioQuest is not listed as a participant in the Premium Cable certification program nor is it even listed as an HDMI organization Adopter, so "caveat emptor".
