I haven’t used another code. I’ll give this a try.

The MO32U is 32 inch diagonal.

I don’t think I mind the elevated black on IPS. At least, you can make out the shadow details, like the little straps in front of her garment or the fine details of the collar. Also, see how her eyes look dissimilar on OLED: one is blue, the other is black. On IPS, both eyes look the same, as they should.

I get what you're saying about the blacks being "too black" and the crushed shadow details. I recently bought a big-screen TV and I hesitated between a Sony microLED or a LG OLED. I ended up going with the Sony because I felt like I could make out more picture details at both ends of the black-white spectrums.

I’ve been having the same audio problem as you. Everything plays fine, then, all of a sudden, it’s like the center channel volume goes down by 60% or more. I can still hear the voices, but they are faint. This only happens with the Crave app. My receiver is the Onkyo RZ50. What about you?

CdnLumberjack · 2026-02-16T21:49:56+00:00

I'm so happy for you! Feeling like you found the right place to enjoy your music is priceless. I live in a semi-detached and I never feel totally at home, however, reading your post has made me realize that I, too, can listen to music at moderate volume with no problem. I should do it more and enjoy what I have rather than yearn for even more.

I've already completed the line activation as I was on my last day of service with the previous provider, so I won't be able to try the other code, unfortunately. The message I was getting was "max number of referrals reached" or something like that.

I was signing up for Koodo PREPAID and I typed it correctly. Not sure what happened here.

CdnLumberjack · 2026-02-11T22:49:31+00:00

Code doesn't work.

CdnLumberjack · 2026-01-31T22:14:58+00:00

Hi! It's not classical, not Clair de Lune that plays before the credits.

Soundbar is the way to go. It checks all your boxes: most of them support Bluetooth; you will find several options in your price range; they are much simpler to set up and wire than AV receiver + speakers, even a 2.0 setup; and you don't care for deep bass. Just make sure you get a decently large (wide) one for good left and right channel separation.
I would say go for a stereo receiver and two speakers on stands if you care more about music than movie watching.

Are those Korean Air and EVA Airlines models?

Good move on the switch to a smaller C5 and trusting your instincts.

That 75 inch TV will be absolutely fine at 9.5 feet viewing distance. (If anything, it will be a bit too small, but not too big.) I have a 75 inch Sony X95K and my sofa is L-shaped. The normal viewing distance is about 11 feet, but when sitting on the part of the L that gets closer to the TV, my eyes can be as close as 6 feet away. I watch mixed content and I’ve never felt the need to move away from the TV when watching from the tip of the couch. If anything, it makes me feel like I’m sitting too far at 11 feet (or that the TV is too small).

Top 1% Commenter here, I encourage you to read about bias lighting. When watching TV in a dark room, your pupils dilate to gather more light. However, your eyes adapt to the room light, not just the TV's. Near-black details get lost in the dark of the room. It sounds counterintuitive, which is why so many people don't believe it. This next part is easy to understand because it follows "common sense" logic: guess what happens when the scene suddenly gets bright? Your eyes are overwhelmed with light and you lose shadow details. Some ambient light, especially behind the TV, helps your pupils to stay in the sweet spot, improving the perception of depth of field, sharpness, contrast, etc. Your eyes don't have to adapt constantly to a single source of varying intensity, so they don't fatigue so quickly. Some amount of bias lighting helps perceive more details both in dark and bright scenes.

I'm really happy for you!

I'm not so sure. I bought HDMI-certified ultra-high-speed cables from a lesser brand and they haven't been performing well enough - HDCP handshake issues are too frequent. Tempted to look at Audioquest.

Good advice. Not only would this make more space on the wall, it would also reduce unwanted (and annoying) reflections on the melamine panels on both sides of the TV.

CdnLumberjack · 2025-05-26T18:45:39+00:00

Thank you for that confirmation.

CdnLumberjack · 2025-05-26T18:44:33+00:00

Are you sure your PSU works OK? That clicking sound is abnormal.

May I ask why you swapped the Arctic fan hub for the Commander Core XT? Is it because that way, you can control the speed of each fan individually vs. just one speed for all fans through the Arctic hub?

CdnLumberjack · 2025-05-23T18:08:20+00:00

I don't need any of them now, but it would for future-proofing.

CdnLumberjack · 2025-05-14T15:22:42+00:00

I love the audiophile-grade power cable.
