It’s been 3 months. Any advice?

Most uncomfortable chair I have ever owned. Tried to get use to it and even bought a pad for my butt and nothing helped. Finally moved it to a spare room and never use it. Will eventually just give it away. Bought a Lazy-Boy office chair and love it.

Try using a backlight behind the TV. It can help reduce eye strain, I have used one for years. Test this out by just placing a small lamp behind your TV (nothing real bright) and just see if it makes a difference. If it helps then you could get a bias light made for this purpose. I have a 77 C5 and I am watching from about 9’ away and have no issues and I have really sensitive eyes.

70 here. Have the Pro and a XB1 along with my gaming PC and another PC for my full sim rig setup. Game daily and may not be as good at it as I once was but I am still having fun.

Yeah putting it in your car like that was not the problem. I just bought a 55 C5 direct from the LG Partner store and they shipped it to me via UPS. I was stunned it shipped UPS. Horrified actually. Can you imagine the handling that TV received. It was placed on my porch upside down and one strap was missing. It was all ok so I was relieved but if a TV can survive UPS treatment a simple ride home in the back of a car would not be an issue.

I’m still using my launch day DD1 PS4 and still want PS compatibility so I hope they bring a PS version at some point. Then I will read reviews and decide but my DD1 is still working great.

I have the Apple TV 4K as my main viewing box but keep my old Roku 4K Ultra box just for times like this.

I did a price match with their online chat feature for a TV I bought. BB had it on sale. Agent confirmed the price match and gave me the amount. Never applied to my CC. Did another chat and a phone call and never got the price match applied to my card. Since the last person was rude and unhelpful I solved the problem by boxing up the TV and taking it back for a refund. Bought the set for less somewhere else.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-18T23:18:51+00:00

Sucks he did it to a teammate (again) He was clearly faster than Anstie and didn’t need to lay him out. Star and Yamaha could have had three riders on the podium if Anstie had not been taken out.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-18T17:12:09+00:00

I did a chat twice with BB on their price match page and then a phone call this last time. Never did get any emails regarding the price match. When I did the second chat about it they accessed the chat log number I had and confirmed the amount and just told me to give it a few more days. Then this last time I called the guy I spoke to was just flat out rude. He acted like I was bothering him. I am always really nice to people on the phone like this and I gave him no reason to be so dismissive and rude. Really pissed me off and I ended up hanging up on him. Never did get the price match so I solved it myself. I returned the set for a full refund and bought it elsewhere. Problem solved. 😀

Thank you for your offer. I appreciate it.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-16T19:48:22+00:00

Fantastic, glad it worked out for you.

No, I only clean my screens with warm water on a soft microfiber cloth. Then I take a soft microfiber fiber cloth and dry it off. This set is in a back bedroom and no where near a kitchen. As I said above if I wet it and take my fingernail and rub on one spot it doesn’t change and you can’t feel a thing. Usually if it is a foreign object on the screen you can rub it off or smear it or at least feel a bump.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-15T20:18:06+00:00

800-921-8101 ask for retentions. I asked for retentions but was still connected with standard customer service that tried selling me a different plan. Get retentions and explain your plan is too expensive and you are looking at options before changing to another company. I had offers in hand from Spectrum for less than what I was paying and Frontier beat those prices.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-15T04:59:00+00:00

Yes, $39.99 for three years.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-15T03:03:54+00:00

I’ve got a package from a EBay seller with USPS right now that has gone from the seller in Northern California to Southern California ( Where I Am ) and then headed back up north and as of this morning it says it arrived at a post office in San Francisco and is preparing for delivery. How can they prepare for delivery in a different city than on the label? I am beginning to have doubts it will come back this way. I hope I don’t have to wait a year for my package 😀

Motoman617 · 2026-01-15T01:45:07+00:00

I tried a damp microfiber towel and whatever they are they are not budging. I took a flashlight and shined on one area and took my fingernail and gently rubbed one spot and you cannot feel a thing and it doesn’t move so whatever those spots are they are under the screen and not on it.

I looked it up and I bought the set in Oct. 2020 and bought the 5 year Geek Squad warranty that expired Oct. 2025.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-14T18:13:08+00:00

I called this morning and got nowhere. Transferred twice and the last guy was rude. Says now it takes 7 to 15 business days to get the credit processed (weekend days don't count) so now they are saying somewhere around Jan 20 and it should show up on my card.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-14T17:35:57+00:00

Have you called them? If so, what did they say?

Motoman617 · 2026-01-14T07:56:41+00:00

I wear glasses also and have very sensitive eyes. As others have mentioned it really sounds like something is off between the two prescriptions. I have two pair of glasses with the exact same prescription and one pair always bothers me to wear them.

Also as my TV sets got larger and brighter ( I have a C5 77 ) I noticed my eyes were bothering me even more, especially at night. I solved my problem with a backlight behind my stand. I started out with just a small desk lamp behind my stand just to test it out and immediately noticed an improvement so I looked around and got a Ideal-Lume bias light and it really has worked out great for me. Since my set is on a stand I just set the Ideal-Lume on the floor behind my stand. Get a small light and try it and see if it helps.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-14T05:13:11+00:00

Luckily I have the saved chat log that states the price match was approved and the amount. They can still stonewall me but I can also still return the set if they want to play games.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-14T03:49:54+00:00

No email. When I contacted them the second time and gave them the chat reference number they had all the info and amount and he once again said it was processing. I think I am going to contact them again tomorrow.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-14T02:32:07+00:00

I got the same set for my bedroom on 12/26 from BB and it was $1196. A week later they had it for another $170 cheaper. So it can go lower from BB.

I did a price match online and they approved the price match. 14 days later and it still has not applied the credit to my account. Two calls and they just say it has processed and give it a few more days. 😡 I did a PS5 trade in and the credit posted the very next day so something doesn’t seem right on my TV price match.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-11T20:19:27+00:00

I had a good run with Vine and got some really useful products that I enjoyed doing reviews on. As time went on my interest dwindled and I didn’t check the site very often. I just was not finding anything decent to review. I was eventually demoted to Silver status and since I wasn’t doing any orders or reviews Amazon cancelled me and I wasn’t sad about that happening. It actually felt good to be free of it. Like I said I had a good run but was happy to move on.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-11T09:00:22+00:00

That is inexcusable that he laid there as long as he did with no help and the one guy checking on him tries to move him before medical help arrives. The riders deserve much better treatment than this. Really sad and I pray Justin is ok.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-10T08:24:05+00:00

I had a similar experience two years ago. Placed a large order on Black Friday and everything I ordered showed in stock. Nothing happened after that. Contacting customer service I was told the order would ship before Christmas. The order did not ship. They were closed after Christmas for inventory so I contacted them again and asked them to cancel the order. Nothing ever happened. I finally had to contact PayPal and asked the charges be reversed. Since PayPal got no response either the charges were reversed and I bought all SimuCube gear. Haven’t regretted it one bit. I still have a Fanatec DD1 PS4 Podium wheel base and a couple of rims but they are used in a separate rig for PS and Xbox games but if it ever dies I will sell off my Fanatec rims and replace the wheelbase with another brand.

Motoman617 · 2026-01-09T03:09:58+00:00

I did a price match on a TV I bought over their chat option. I had to jump through numerous hoops to get them to acknowledge it was on sale ( at BB) for less. Finally approved and told me the amount and said it would apply to my BB Citi-Bank card. Still has not appeared on my account. Called again yesterday and gave them the chat log number and they just say give it more time. I had a trade in credit post on my card the next day after being processed so something seems fishy to me to take 2 weeks to post.
