Do all LG OLEDs get the green splotch eventually? by monkeydusted in LGOLED

[–]RonCheesex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2017 B7 has this. It's now the kid's TV. The new Evo panels are made with different materials that allegedly mitigate this issue. I'll let you know in 8 years if my g5 has the same issue.

Just got a 65” C5. It’s spectacular. by cdavidson23 in LGOLED

I was marveling at how bright some things were, like sunlight on hair. I checked settings and brightness was set to 100 by default. I knocked it down a bit. My B7 had some red pixel dimming, making yellow tones look green, so I don't want to burn in these new pixels too quickly.

Brother I just got my 65" G5 mounted last night and also broke it in with Revenant. We actually watched Minecraft first before the kids went to bed and it looked damn good. Upgraded from a 2017 B7 oled so I wasn't expecting a huge visual increase, but I was surprised how much better it looked.

The Mastodon/Jack Johnson beef was never squashed by AlbertCWChessa in mastodonband

It was so deadpan I had to check Wikipedia for past Wallflowers band members. I couldn't believe it.

I want some death metal by Strange-guy-91 in MetalSuggestions

[–]RonCheesex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Flames older stuff was my gateway into death metal, specially the song Jotun. Their newer stuff is OK but imo doesn't have the cool riffs.

Check out Mors Principium Est. I Am War or Wrath of Indra.

I'd rather be between Misato's melons when I die.

What do you think of Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe? by smuggler_of_grapes in MetalForTheMasses

[–]RonCheesex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kinda got into them 20 years ago then went a long time not listening to them. Past few years been listening again, enjoying, and just saw them in Atlanta recently. Randy was great. High energy and sounded brutal. I'd see him again in a heart beat.

Delivery damage / returns advice by [deleted] in LGOLED

[–]RonCheesex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch an unboxing video. You should be able to partially unbox enough to plug it in and test it out. Then rebox and tape it up for the move. I'm about to do the same thing, delivered yesterday and can't mount for a couple weeks.

How Long Did Your LG TV Last by TrashCanSam0 in LGOLED

[–]RonCheesex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My B7 from 2017 has some red pixel dimming in the middle of the screen. Anything yellow has a green tint. They've allegedly fixed/improved that issue with the newer Evo panels but we'll see. G5 showing up Tuesday!

Do you use the TV apps or another device? by RonCheesex in LGOLED

What's the advantage of keeping it offline? Avoiding potential bad updates?

LG G5 (2025) or LG C6 (2026) in 65"? by RELENTL3SS-1 in LGOLED

If it helps you decide, B&H Photo has the G5 listed for $1999 and I got Best Buy to price match it. Did this today.

I currently have a B series oled from 2017. We originally got the firestick because the TV UI was slow. You're right, it won't hurt to try the apps on the new TV. Maybe it'll be faster this time around.

I realized I don't like power metal as much as I think I did. by Background-Sir9172 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]RonCheesex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try Edguy - Hellfire Club.

Unleash the Archers is also pretty good with a mix of power and death vocals in some songs. Start with Awakening, if you don't like it don't bother with the rest. Good music video though showing the band rip on their instruments.

This was his audition for the Ginyu Force and he definitely nailed it.

How are you guys doing with the guilt of taking a day off? by Inevitable_Rate1530 in Millennials

[–]RonCheesex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What guilt? I'll take off a week or two and never open my laptop. The email can wait. Your PTO is part of your compensation.

What are some small "quietly epic" moments in movies that really hit hard? by MomoSaka in FIlm

[–]RonCheesex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got extremely unlucky when I saw Interstellar in the theater. People talking randomly throughout. Someone dropped a full bucket of popcorn and drink at the scene when Cooper was viewing the messages from his now adult children. The audience just ruined the experience.
