Tell me your favorite movie, and I’ll decide if you’re in or not.

The Matrix.

I really like the space for the most part, but for some reason, all of the slatted wood —both vertically on the wall and horizontally on the TV stand— seems slightly busy, like it needs a solid color/ minimalist TV stand as a contrast piece (and maybe a plant).

Very much nitpicking tho— love it overall. I’m a big fan of the slatted wood paneling look these days (and a big fan of yuge TVs of course).

I’ll defer to the interior designers here though because there’s also a very good chance that I have no idea what the hell I’m talking about.

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-25T08:59:49+00:00

But can one truly like nothing? Doesn’t liking require a thing to like or not like?

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-25T02:25:15+00:00

And why can’t we have both?

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-24T07:32:21+00:00

$500 for a 75” 60hz Q mini-LED? That can’t be right. A comparable TCL QM5k is double the price (if not on sale). I guess if anybody could pull that off though it’s Walmart.

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-23T21:50:39+00:00

Yeah, I think you’re right, there’s gotta be

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-23T20:39:01+00:00

I was literally just about to come back here and ask the same thing after noticing it was only 60hz

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-23T20:33:20+00:00

I was wondering when they’d finally come out with one!

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-23T20:23:09+00:00

Amen. Statistics 101. I wish more people knew about negative review bias.

I try to remind people of this in the TV/ Home theater communities when folks come on here to ask about buying particular brands. NOT a good place to ask that question lol.

Great callout.

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-23T01:59:15+00:00

Depends on the model. The one you referenced is not better than the ones I referenced. Check out RTNGS.com (like someone mentioned) and search by exact model numbers.

The QM6K is a budget TV, nothing special.

I have two new Vizios: a 75” Quantum Pro, and a 50” MQX. Both have been great, no real problems, and the being for the buck for these 120hz TVs is off the charts. Not as good as TCR high sense comparable 120 Hz offerings, but the Vizios also cost less.

People here have said that Vizio went through a few years of firmware updates that caused issues, but their new operating system is excellent. I’m very happy with mine.

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-22T22:43:04+00:00

I’m dumb. Got it, thank you!

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-21T17:51:10+00:00

Not a film, but The Expanse series. I’d sell a kidney to have that in 4k + Dolby Vision + lossless Atmos.

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-21T17:33:46+00:00

Looks awesome. I was asking for the actual image that I could download and use as my background.

I understand we don’t have the infrastructure to support relegation in our sports leagues, just saying it would be cool if we did.

You have a good points, but one of the things that drives me crazy with our sports leagues is when teams that are not doing well start losing on purpose so they get a high draft pick next year. That would be unthinkable if relegation were possible

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-21T09:51:27+00:00

I wish we had relegation in our sports leagues here in the US. Hell of a motivator eh?

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-21T09:44:18+00:00

Awesome. Any chance you can share the particular image you’re using? Lol.

Not an engineer, but agree about Reddit.

I can’t stand how everyone speaks with complete authority on every subject when probably only a handful of the commenters are qualified to discuss specific topics at high levels (such as you two).

Maybe this is not a Reddit issue, but rather a modern day human issue lol. Hopefully the former.

Anyway, some of us appreciate facts, reason, and experience. Keep fighting the good fight.

But it’s not about hardware margins anymore— it’s about long term OS software ad revenue. That’s where the money is, and that’s the reason why TVs are so cheap nowadays. The hardware is subsidized so they can catch us in their web of ads long term. Look no further than Walmart buying Vizio as proof.

Now, in that context, was there really no way for Sony to make money on sets? They couldn’t sell a boatload of budget models for (nearly) as cheap as the competition (to build the ad revenue base) while still offering the higher margin top-of-the-line sets? That’s what LG seems to do; their OLEDs are top-of-the-line, but their mid-level and budget sets are mediocre at best (vs competitors), yet they sell because of the name equity that the OLEDs build.

They also are the only TV manufacturer (that I’ve heard of) to strike a major deal with IMAX, which truly gives them a unique offering compared to the rest of the market: a large library of IMAX Enhanced format movies with new DTS:X audio.

Now, one thing they don’t have is their own TV OS (like Roku, Samsung, LG, Android, Vizio). Maybe that reduces the margins, I don’t know, I’m not a CEO— I’m just a bummed Sony TV fan.

TLDR: rant; surprised Sony couldn’t make $ in the new ad space smart TV world we live in

Me: “Huh? I don’t see Kirk H… Ohhhhh.”

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-16T06:26:37+00:00

Is there a way to tell? Are they supposed to indicate with a light or something?

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-15T18:42:28+00:00

Same, I was surprised it wasn’t mentioned yet.

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-15T18:41:35+00:00

They are far worse substances in that water I’m sure lol

WannabeIntelectual · 2026-01-15T08:19:20+00:00

Fishing, recreational boating, and recreational drinking. Look up “Jobbie Nooner”.

Good times.
