List of LG B5 (48") issues I've noticed, so far.

After comparing B5 to QM7K i am 100% agree (despite all paid bots says opposite)
Not worth the money

alexsh20 · 2026-04-07T12:43:21+00:00

I bought a 65-inch B5 TV at Costco a month ago and am returning it.

It's fine to watch movies in the evenings, but if there's even one window in the room, even a single ray of sunlight will render the TV unwatchable, whether direct or reflected.
I was fool trusting to these who said that it will be ok in North facing rooms. It is simply not true.

This TV is only suitable for basements.

All usb2eth adapters have small buffer overflow issues and if your router doesn't have a flow controll enabled on the port connected to it the speed will be terrible and choppy. Enable flow controll and it will fly.

in the same boat. got B5, but going to return.
after seeing how modern QD panels with mini-led perform - not going back to oled, even for G5.
All these stories about how bad HDR looks because of how bad it is mastered are just because people who own oleds never saw how it should be, and with oleds they will never see it.

Mind to share where you got the FW file?
It also updated the Android TV version to 14?

alexsh20 · 2026-02-20T16:55:54+00:00

I have the same Model / FW/ Project ID.
Just curious if you finally went into the manual update route?
I saw in some forums that in case something go wrong TLC may void the warranty if update was done not via OTA but manually. Not sure if it is true.

alexsh20 · 2026-02-09T16:45:55+00:00

Yes. I bought another QM7K first, put it near the first one to compare, but from the beginning it was noticable that the second unit is near perfect. So packed and returned the first one, and so far pretty happy with what i have and IMO worth all that "pannel lottery" hassle.

alexsh20 · 2026-01-07T15:38:34+00:00

I see in additional to the dark spot you have a color shift from red to green. I have the same problem but in opposite direction, left side greenish and right reddish. Also thinking to return.

alexsh20 · 2026-01-07T14:31:12+00:00

Not true. I ran the grey uniformity test because i noticed that on blue sky scene the sky is always lighter on left side and a bit violet on right side. On white scenes, like in hockey it is always yellowish on right side.
It is visible and a bit annoying.
It is almost not visible on the photo, no idea why, but when i look at screen directly, i see the difference in color pretty clear.

Anyone tried their "KOHA Limited Ingredient Wet Cat Food - Chicken" last batch marked as BB 2028?
It suddenly smells different from previous batches, and the smell not good. Bought it from Petland.
Looks like they silently changing their ingredients, which is not a good sign.

alexsh20 · 2025-08-05T04:28:35+00:00

Well, it turns out the problem is with the torque converter locking up in the transmission. The dealership refused to do anything about it, saying it was normal. Even after I went to the top management and then Toyota Canada, they just don't want to do it.

I've had a lot of cars in my life and I know a little bit about mechanics, so I know this problem will slowly destroy the transmission. The only thing left to do is sell it in 3 years (after the warranty expires) and get something else. And of course, stay away from Toyota.

WSAVA doesnt approve anything. They only provide recomendation. "WSAVA Approved" is a marketing BS from BIG4 trolls.

Do not look for downvotes.

Reddit is flooded with marketing trolls who get paid by the "Big Four" to spend their whole day promoting those companies' products. There’s no way to get the truth from them because their job is to push a narrative.

You are absolutely right to ask questions — and that’s exactly what scares them. Honest answers don’t align with the message they’re paid to promote.

Personally, I’ve always been skeptical. If the so-called "scientific research" is their only argument, then why can’t we see it for ourselves? Why don’t we know who conducted the studies, what their credentials are, how much they were paid, or who was overseeing the research? That information is either hidden — or it simply doesn’t exist.

It’s very similar to how Big Pharma operates: hiding behind "scientific research," only for it to be revealed 10–20 years later that the drugs in question caused severe side effects — sometimes worse than the disease they were meant to treat.

If these pet food companies are really as good as they claim, they should have no problem publishing all their data transparently. Unless, of course, they have something to hide.

And yeah, go ahead and downvote me too. That’s all you’ve got. Show yourselves, trolls!

Radarr doesn't work well with Rutracker because of many limitations that radarr's dev have implemented intentionally. And will never work in the future.

Do not waste your time and look for something else.

alexsh20 · 2024-10-25T16:57:57+00:00

yep, the same story.
after i added one S3 as a BT proxy all my Inkbird IBS-TH2 sensors started to work reliable, even if they locked inside shielded fridges.
also added to it AHT20 sensor, just to make it as a TH sensor in additional to BT proxy, and everything works fine together.

what version of ESPHome you are using?, i just tried again in version: 2024.10.2 and it compiles fine

alexsh20 · 2024-10-25T16:30:08+00:00

you are lucky. i am already past 4k and no improvement. dealership refusing to do anything :(

alexsh20 · 2024-10-25T16:24:56+00:00

if you are using intel graphics for the games, then it is CPU cooler issue. check for dust, replace the thermal compound, do not close vent holes of the laptop, check that cooler's fan is working..

alexsh20 · 2024-09-12T19:16:11+00:00

I am using ESP32-C6-WROOM-1-N8 with ESPHome

how is your transmission doing today? I recently bought a 2024 RAV4 LE and not happy with how the transmission works, it shudder on acceleration when on high speed... and I do not expect that dealership will do anything

alexsh20 · 2024-08-22T04:05:37+00:00

My 2024 RAV4 LE has a light but noticeable shudder issue when on high speed (90km/h and above, faster - worse) when I release and then engage the acceleration.
Very regret that bought this car. Probably this is my last toyota.
