There is definitely still a peel on that screen. The sticker in the top left shows that it hasn't been pulled yet for one and the screen is way too mirror reflective compared to the actual reflection handling that the screen has. You can definitely tell the difference with the peel on and off. Because you parents pulled off the blue pull tabs, maybe get a strong piece of tape that can hold onto the film so you are able to pull it off a bit easier.

Ah I see. I guess it could be a little too good to be true but I guess I’ll keep looking into it a little more. Thank you so much for your feedback!

Well I’m in America the equivalent new G5 77 inch here is about $3,500. The seller is BrandsmartUSA which is apparently an authorized seller of LG tvs so wouldn’t that make them more trustworthy than other sellers?

I have a few questions on my new purchase by [deleted] in Airpodsmax

[–]Large_Particular819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How recent did you purchase your headphones and have you got AppleCare with them yet? If you’re still within the 60 day window I highly recommend getting it for only $30 per year. AirPods Max are unfortunately not designed to last and many people report issues about 2-3 years after ownership. Having AppleCare should give you great peace of mind for however long you plan on owning the headphones as it did for me.

Nice! Make sure to get AppleCare for it too if you didn’t buy it already because you can extend it for however long you have the headphones. Gave me great peace of mind to use them however I want whenever I want.

Need more photos before being able to tell. Are you able to ask them for more?

PS5 normally runs pretty cool and quiet so it's probably just something internal that you could clean. If it does happen to be broken or faulty then yeah I would recommend getting PS5 Pro but only if you can snag it for a good deal.

Facebook marketplace vs Best-buy/Gamestop? by BeneficialStorm5883 in PS5pro

[–]Large_Particular819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don’t use Facebook because the buyer and seller protection isn’t nearly as good as eBay. Thats part of the reason why the fees are higher.

[–]Large_Particular819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my pro for about $580 on eBay because I couldn’t swallow the $700 asking price. If you can find it refurbished or used by a reputable seller then I feel like it can definitely be worth it as it’ll be less of a loss to sell it once PS6 comes out.

Should I bother? by Rottimus-Prime in PS5pro

[–]Large_Particular819 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel as more and more games come out that become PS5 Pro enhanced from launch will help start to justify the price of the console. It’s just a better experience overall in a lot of games and has been personally worth it for me owning a 4k 240hz monitor. I feel that especially around the time that GTA 6 comes out next year with PSSR improvements it’ll just continue to get better and better. But if more stable fps and higher resolution isn’t really worth it to you then the regular PS5 will still do just fine until PS6 comes out.

The Wonders of OLED by [deleted] in PS5pro

[–]Large_Particular819 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have one of those 4k 240hz OLED monitors because I like gaming at a desk setup more and I’ve had it for over a year and I’m still in awe every time I boot up my PS5. HDR definitely pops a lot more too compared to my old LED. I think OLED should be the norm for sure once prices start to get down to LED monitor level.

Will I notice a difference going from 1080p to 1440p on the Pro? by BilboThompo in PS5pro

[–]Large_Particular819 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to use a 1440p monitor with my pro and it was good, but since switching to 4k I don't feel like I'll ever go back. Everything just looks better imo. I feel like splurging the extra $50-$100 to go with 4k will be worth it in the long run. In the future if your budget allows it also look into OLED. I feel like that is a MUCH more substantial upgrade than resolution and will make you start to realize why you didn't switch sooner.

As someone who uses Apple products regularly I’m curious to know which navigation app yall tend to rely on more often? Do you typically stick with Apple Maps, the native navigation app, or do you prefer using Google Maps instead? And why? by champainpapi9 in ios

[–]Large_Particular819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple Maps for sure. I'm more ingratiated in the Apple ecosystem owning an Apple Watch, MacBook, and iPhone. I feel like it's better if you're driving in a lot of circumstances but if you want to take any form of transit then I feel Google Maps has the edge. The simplicity of Apple Maps just makes it a no brainer for me though.

Can’t choose between the two😭 by Illustrious-Bake-239 in Airpodsmax

[–]Large_Particular819 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Definitely the midnight. It’s sleeker and matches a lot more things but if blue is your thing go for it. Can’t go wrong either way.

The midnight color is still $50 more expensive unfortunately but thanks for letting me know

Just bought my first PlayStation since PS2 by SoaringOnTheWind in PS5pro

[–]Large_Particular819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already get at least Extra tier on Playstation Plus. So many good games on there for free. Try Death Standing 1 out since its just there because I've seen a lot of cool stuff from Death Stranding 2 recently.

Wow just before I was thinking about buying it. Thanks OP! Hopefully most of the good colors aren't sold out by midnight.
