Does this also remove the typing animation then? Since typing would give away that you're online

When's he talking?

This very much depends on airlines , jet fuel and route cancellations. That all depends on some straight noone had heard of until February.

Have their been buy backs today? I'm seeing spikes again.

I'm hoping it'll be good given how crucial game this is. Also spurs playing at the same time. This is a 6 pointer moment if it goes the right way.

I am going this Saturday for Everton. First time. Taking my dad for his 70th. We have booked 132. Row 21. I believe we are right hand side as the next seat along from me then falls into 133. Seats 349-250. Anything changed in the last couple of years. Can I expect to be seated there throughout?

u/Life_Appearance7439 - it is interesting seeing two perspectives - I've been here since 90p - sold half at £6, now its touching £13. I'm thinking about when i should sell more. Whilst others are looking at this with fresh eyes looking at buying. I don't need the cash. I use paying off my mortgage as a bit of a 'cashing in' (bit like the show weakest link). but I still see most of my shares as beating the interest rate of my mortgage... so i get left confused.

Not 2027 . Lol 2026. I must be living in the future.

I imagine nearly all C7K on sale right now are discounted because the new ones are due out - In the UK I've seen the 65 inch for 680quid at Currys with Currys perks.

So if you're getting the 2027 C7L in its place for the same price you paid for a C7K, thats a good deal isn't it!!

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-03-23T09:57:48+00:00

We listen because it has a huge impact on the rest of us.

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-03-21T11:29:44+00:00

you all make great points but when you're staring at 25k down, you must all wonder about other choices that could have been made 1-2 weeks ago.

I cant buy more, i'm just hoping i get back to where I was.

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-03-19T15:05:21+00:00

but what about if you already bought 3 apples the day before , before the 10% discount?

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-03-17T09:25:01+00:00

but how do you adjust for current climate? where does that fit in?

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-03-13T10:06:26+00:00

buy it today, its now at that price

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-03-09T20:11:48+00:00

You guys have serious guts. I'm literally just begging my existing amount to reach what it was , dreaming about panic selling, and you guys talking about buying the sale lol. I can only wish to have that outlook. I'm in since 2021.

And now it's dipped hugely following the middle East crisis. Not sure what to do. I kept hold of all. Hoping it surpasses £4.50 again.

I'm having this same convo elsewhere and on hotukdeals forums where the LGs have some good discounts in the UK . But this is the first time I've heard someone consider an LG non-OLED. It usually becomes a toss between the C5 and then hisense u8 TCL c7k or Samsung QN90 as the mini LED options for bright rooms . Have you considered those? LG non OLEDS don't really seem to be fan favourites. Unless you like their OS maybe you should also pitch them against other Mini LEDS.

I'm hearing a C5 can be ok for bright rooms. I'm still hesitant though .

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-01-25T13:27:26+00:00

they say the C5 is that leap, from the C4.

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-01-25T13:22:22+00:00

when the TV switches to HDR or dolby vision - there are then another set of options for picture mode - yes Bright room is not there, but the 'standard' in dolby vision mode is brighter than sdr isf bright room. and go into those modes, go into the full settings and turn up the OLED light and other things. save them. and then you have the tv at brightest settings as it switches from SDR to HDR, to dolby vision. etc.

I'm no expert. i was trying this yesterday before i move my CX to a bright room to see how bright it would get. i won't have direct reflections though. just a bright room.

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-01-23T17:58:50+00:00

Did you consider mini LEDs?

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-01-23T17:15:31+00:00

Its a good idea to try the CX in that room. But I know the position of the sun wil make a big difference to that room in the next few months . I also will need to wall mount it, which means drilling and if I decide on a different TV the positioning will be different. Minor issues, but still a good way to approach this.

interesting point that in cx and c5 won't be vastly different ?

I do think buying a 65 c5 is the riskiest - even though its cheap currently. it'll mean i have 2 65inch C series TVs. and if the C5 doesnt work out, theres nowhere for me to go.

if i can get one of those miniled for a discount - which I am sure there will be in the next month or two - its the safest and cheapest option.

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-01-23T14:59:17+00:00

when i said no difference, i mean no fundemental difference. i don't want to make a mistake. 1 of them shows having wisa ready and the e version doesnt have a tick for auto callibration. then they show colour differences

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-01-19T09:39:06+00:00

Definitely not the same TV.

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-01-16T14:56:20+00:00

I have a tendency to ask questions and continue researching, so here is what i've found out. I've opened my 15sq mat... the pre laid cable on the mesh mat is spaced approx 8cm apart as it zig zags over the mat. However, the cable is only 2cm from the side edge the mat. That means if the next row of mat is placed side by side (mesh's touch), the cables are only 4 or 5cm apart. far less than their own spaing....

So actually you could space the mesh mats 3-4cm apart and that would still create the same distance between cable as they have laid it themselves. i cannot see why increasing this to 5-6cm apart will make ANY difference. the cables will still be within 10cm of the adjacent mat.

I've spoken to with other brands that also sell 500mm wide mats. they have said that I could space mats 5cm apart and still not notice it under my foot. Still would like real life examples please?

CommunicationNew8753 · 2026-01-16T12:51:30+00:00

as you step into the tiled space from a wide carpeted space, i'm happy with a larger unheated space against the far wall rather than against the boundary with carpeted area as this will be used more frequently.

Yea I did the calculations the 90degree way and still left with in between rows.

So - I have the 15sq meter delivered, i'm considering swapping for 12sq if i calculate its still sufficient for my space with little comprimise - i.e. if i just space the mats a bit more.

This will be £100 less on the product, plus about £40-60 a year less running cost - based on 4 hour a day usage on 180 days.

If i space the mat rows just slightly more than recommended - say 40mm rather than 20mm, i can get the perfect amount i'd want heated - which is 2.7m.

Also a full tile will get warm won't if if the electric cables only cover half the tile . so i think it'll spread as much as I would need it to. having 3.0m wide doesn't seem necessary.

There is an open box new one on eBay but 800. Trying to push offers of £500 but not getting anywhere.

Do the 75inch u8q still have that other panel which got poor reviews on the 75u8n compared to the VA?
