Works as a good basic streaming device. No 4k but still a good picture on smaller TVs. I’ve had better luck with Amazon streamers than Roku.

Geek Squad delivered and installed by LG77” OLED TV. Did a very good job. Setup all my inputs and even took away my old tv (free as a perk of TotalTech membership). The delivery cost as much as just getting a TotalTech membership so I get some extra benefits for at least a year.

LG - 77" Class C2 Series OLED evo 4K UHD Smart webOS TV
The Award-Winning¹ LG OLED C2 Is Better Than Ever. The versatile LG OLED C Series has gotten even more impressive with brighter colors, a new, more advanced processor and a sleeker, slimmer bezel. Self-lit LG OLED pixels create beautiful picture quality with infinite contrast, perfect black and over a billion colors, now even brighter.² Make the impossible possible with our latest α9 Gen5 AI Processor 4K, engineered exclusively for LG OLED to automatically adjust your settings to improve picture and sound qualities based on whatever you’re watching. Just add popcorn to get in the action the way directors intended on movie night with FILMMAKER MODE—and enhance every moment with Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos for the ultimate home theater experience. Be at the top of your game with NVIDIA G-SYNC, FreeSync Premium and VRR to experience real-time action stay. The LG OLED C2 is designed slim and sleek with a new silver bezel so you can focus on the screen and nothing else — not to mention the new, lightweight composite-fiber material that takes a load off installation.³ It’s not just OLED. It’s LG OLED. The gold standard in OLED TV from the creators of OLED.

I have a Tesla Model Y and it’s infotainment system lacks some things most cars have, like SiriusXM. The Alexa Auto makes up for that and also allows you to use voice recognition to control it. Does require internet access through your phone.

Still the best tablet. I’ve use IPad Pros for several years now. Great screen. With new M1 processor even faster. Only drawback is they’re very expensive. You get what you pay for.

This is the best way to pay for your satellite radio service. Don’t have to give them a credit card so they can bill you automatically at their astronomical “regular” rate. You also avoid the $2 “ invoice “ fee for a paper bill.

This basic tablet now puts iPads in the reach of most people. For $250 it’s a good all around tablet. You lose some of the bells and whistles of the much pricier iPad Pros or Airs, but for most people it’s more than sufficient. Much better than most cheap Android tablets.

Good popcorn flick. J-Lo is very good as Ramona, the main architect of the scam that is the basis for the film. Constance Wu is also very good as her protege. Not great cinema but still an enjoyable film.

What is the difference between the C series, A series and G series in your OLED smart TVs?

C series are the midline series, most bang for buck for most people. A series is the discount line; fewer features, older processors, etc. but they’re much cheaper. G series is top of the line; most features but highest price. G series are designed to be wall mounted; if you want a stand they are extra.

How does the tv do with sports and streaming thru the built in apps like Hulu for instance. Is there still a blur or does it keep up? Seems like it takes my older LG to buffer during games and ruin the play.

Haven’t watched any live sports yet so I’m not sure about motion blur. Built in apps like Hulu work great. I have noticed Tv performance is snappier than my last LG TV.

Hi, with these prepaid cards do you just add them to your account even if you have to use more than one ? Does Sirius accept more than one card on an account at once when you sign up ? Is Sirius better than other streaming services ? Thanks

Yes, if you login to your account online you'll see the is a box on the main page for redeeming a prepaid card. All you do is enter the code on the card on your account will be credited the face value of the card. Yes you can add as many cards as you want to redeem. You could also do this on the phone when you call them about renewing your subscription at a better price, but some of the reps don't seem to know about using prepaid cards. Their playbook is geared strictly to credit cards or invoices. So better to have the money in your account before you call.
Using a prepaid card does 2 things: One, it keeps them from having your credit card number on file so they can't automatically bill you at their exhorbitant retail rate. Teo, it saves you from having to pay a $2 invoice fee if you don't use a credit card.
As for is it better than other streaming services, probably not. It's more convenient, since it's built into most cars today, But so is Pandora, which is free (with ads).

 LG - 3.1-Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and DTS Virtual: X - Black
LG - 3.1-Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and DTS Virtual: X - Black
Realize immersive room-filling sound from your TV with this LG 3.1-channel high-resolution audio soundbar. DTS technology creates a thrilling surround sound experience, while high-resolution audio support ensures a stunning reproduction of sound and music. This LG 3.1-channel high-resolution audio soundbar features optical, USB, HDMI and Bluetooth for convenient connections to all compatible equipment and TVs.
 

Hello..Is there anyway to make the LG 3.1 SL6Y sound bar turn off. I have tried everything and the OPT continues to stay on but is very dim. The sub woofer is always on, showing a steady green light. Is this just a characteristic of this sound bar.

I assume you mean the display on the soundbar. No, it will always be lit when the sound bar is active, although it should dim to a very low level a few minutes after any change is made to soundbar settings. I don't find it annoying. In my setup (connected using HDMI-ARC) the bar automatically turns off completely when I turn off the TV.
The light on the back of the subwoofer is green when it is Bluetooth connected to the main soundbar and red when it is not, so when soundbar is off it will be red.
When soundbar is turned on it takes a few seconds for it to re-link to the subwoofer, so bass doesn't come on immediately. Since light is on the back of the subwoofer I don't see why it should be a problem.
If your bar is staying on even when TV is off you need to use a different connection method, like HDMI-ARC. Or maybe it only connects properly with LG TVs.
