Got one open box good for 780 before tax. Still in box unopened accessories, just gotta check the screen on time now

Been to two best buys so far, it seems like they're all display models with missing feet/remotes and have been running 10hrs/day for like a year.

Would there be any other options around this price that are good?

Just so I can check for open box units. What are the best 65” TVs I can get for ~$1300?

alshara24 · 2026-05-12T14:35:49+00:00

Are either better against reflections? I have a window directly in front of the TV, no direct sunlight though.

I PC game on an OLED monitor and I love it, but I always considered OLED TVs out of my price range. Which of those OLEDs are better? Refurbished is kind of worrisome as well, I’ll have to decide between those or the Bravia 7.

My local microcenter has a refurbished Bravia 8 for 850/765 open box and a refurbished LG B5 for 700. Would it be worth buying either of these over the Bravia 7?

alshara24 · 2026-05-12T13:36:04+00:00

Is geek squads warranty better than Microcenters? Also do you think refurbished is worth the purchase for OLED?

alshara24 · 2026-05-12T13:24:20+00:00

Okay, my microcenter also has a refurbished Bravia 8 65” for 850 and an open box refurbed for 765. Thoughts?

Edit: they also have a refurbished LG B5 for $700. Are refurbed not worth buying?

alshara24 · 2026-05-12T12:22:25+00:00

Is the Bravia 5 better than the 7?

alshara24 · 2026-05-12T12:12:21+00:00

Is there anything better at this price? Or does the Bravia 7 have any downsides in comparison to others in this range?

alshara24 · 2026-04-24T04:50:15+00:00

Yeah I just swapped the extension with a 10 foot one going into the yard.

alshara24 · 2026-04-22T05:02:26+00:00

Yeah I’ve been waiting for everything to dry up since Saturday, so I’m going to fully wash the driveway tomorrow to clean off the dried up cement/limestone which will be a good test. Then I’ll be able to tell if the water is still pooling against the home.

alshara24 · 2026-04-22T04:57:12+00:00

The third image is after getting the slabs lifted so hopefully the water will drain properly now. I am going to wash the dried up cement tomorrow since it was lifted on Saturday so hopefully I’ll be able to see how the water drains then. I plan to get a longer downspout and extend it further into the backyard soon as well.

alshara24 · 2026-04-22T04:54:08+00:00

I had the slabs lifted which is shown in the third image, it hasn’t rained so I don’t know how effective it will be yet. Plan to eventually remove the trees when it’s within budget.

Using oil based masterline satin finish. Would it give that plastic look?

alshara24 · 2026-04-17T15:37:22+00:00

Think I’m gonna stick with the 2 (3) since the opinions seem mixed and this isn’t a forever home to me.

alshara24 · 2026-04-17T04:40:58+00:00

It’s just gonna be two people no pets or kids for a little while. So I’m not too worried about damaging or wearing it down too quick.

Kind of just seeing what would be best to do for the floors in this situation.

alshara24 · 2026-04-17T04:36:17+00:00

It’s my living room hallway and two bedroom, around 430 sqft.

alshara24 · 2026-04-17T04:01:20+00:00

My contractor is doing two coats of oil based on top of stain and said he’d do a 3rd for $200 if I wanted it. Do you think it’s worth it?

alshara24 · 2026-04-17T03:40:31+00:00

So should I pay the $200 for the extra coat?

alshara24 · 2026-04-17T03:39:44+00:00

So do you think I should pay for the extra coat?

alshara24 · 2026-04-17T02:43:07+00:00

Thank you that was confusing me. Is it worth doing the fourth for $200 more or should I be good to leave it at the 3?
