when sitting in front of this tv it looks awesome, no blooming like the LG nano and just an amazing image when watching movies. the bad news is the off-angle viewing is really horrible. But we got this to watch movies and the room is big enough that everyone gets a good seat and a great picture.
There is no lag when watching sports games which is a plus as the LG nano this replaced had issues displaying sports events it would stutter constantly.
I would recommend the Sony if you have a large room where everyone is at a good angle

refrigerator stop cooling after 3 years 6 months. LG tech support said the issue was not covered even though they claim a 10-year warranty on the compressor which doesn't seem to be working. Thankfully I added a 5 yr geek squad protection plan They are easy to work with but I have to wait 2 days which isn't a big deal.
I have read that LG is being sued over this exact issue so you may want to stay away until LG gets it together.
I own a few LG products and had been satisfied with their TV's so far but I wasn't happy after talking to their tech support based out of India

I wanted to upgrade my Samsung 64" plasma tv and could not afford an Oled and I'm not willing to go with a qled I went with the cheaper 75" LG nano until I could upgrade to Oled.
The nano has an issue with local dimming which causes major blume around any image in a dark background, I didn't think it would bother me as much as it does.
But when it switches to Dolby vision it looks much better.
The ability to connect to Bluetooth speakers and headphones is very easy and a plus and it connects easily to any network and has a strong connection to streaming services which has been a problem on my network in the past.
Honestly, my 2013 Samsung plasma looks much better. If I didn't pay to have both TVs to be mounted in different rooms I would have returned the LG.

I purchased the Corsair Glaive after the Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse I had just purchased died without warning.
The Logitech is slightly wider which fits my hand a bit better but I am keeping the wired glaive because it's been solid with none of the hiccups of wireless the 2S had. I'm not really into the RBG fade but it doesn't hurt that I can get it to match my corsair keyboard. I would have given it 5 stars but it needs to be just a little bigger

Is Xbox insane with this price? I got a good 4tb external hard drive for $94. Nobody will buy this crap.

This NVMe drive is about 4-500% faster than the 4gb you have and while the Microsoft drives sounds expensive it's not that expensive compared to the m.2 drives and the fact that it's external (portable) and made for the Xbox it's worth the extra few dollars
There are bigger reasons not to buy the new series but the hardware isn't the problem. The lack of new exclusive content is a much bigger issue

I recently bought the Corsair Harpoon and it was to small so I returned it. How well does this mouse fit in the hand? Preferably compared to the Razer Death Adder.

I can't compare it to the Razer but I can tell you this is a little smaller than the Logitech MX line which I have found to be bigger than the Razers I have tried so they would be about the same size. there are 3 attachments so you can change the width of the Corsair which I was grateful for but it's not a large mouse by any means

The Browns are the quietest on this model. I think they have a different model that have "silent" switches but I have never used them. I can tell you this keyboard isn't too loud and is quieter than my last brown switch keyboard.
