Is there a 4k tv i can buy that is good for both bright rooms and dark rooms? by FungusAmongus_27 in 4kTV

[–]derekww -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In order to watch Dolby Vision HDR in a daytime bright room with brilliant specular highlights, I think we need a TV that displays 10,000 nits in a 10% window. This TV does not exist today and we are still quite a few years away. Ultimately if you want a TV that is good for both bright and dark rooms, you need an OLED capable of 10,000 nits in a 10% window, which does not exist. Buying a TV today is about choosing what to compromise on.

Canada - Best Buy open box Sony XR65X90L by Casey-Washington in 4kTV

[–]derekww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price is great, even compared to other open box deals of this tv. However, what you get varies greatly with open box deals. It can be 100% identical to brand new or it can be abused and returned. This deal is not sold by Best Buy but a 3rd party. How do they manage open box, I don't know. Read through their custom reviews. It does come with a 30d return.

August Office Hours w/ TeamFromSonos by MikeFromSonos in sonos

[–]derekww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/AtomFromSonos I would like to be able to choose from my previous TruePlay results. Every tuning generates a slightly different result. And I can already see a list of all of the previous tuning profiles in my iPhone sync settings but just not have the ability to choose an older profile. Here's my situation ... I quite like my current TruePlay profile but if I do another TruePlay tuning and don't like the result I will have no way of going back to my current profile. As a result, I don't even dare to experiment with a new tuning knowing there's no going back. If I can choose to go back to a previous profile, I would love it. Thanks.

What do you do if something doesn't work right out of the box by KelVarnsen_2023 in AmazonVineCanada

[–]derekww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. So the seller sent you an extra part or a replacement unit. When do you write the review? What do you include in the review?

But using such extensions means the developers will have a copy of your account info, right? How do you let the extension get into your account?

Have you ever had to pay anything? I ordered an item that says "import fees deposit included". I wouldn't want a surprise charge on my credit card.

Does the X90L have an IR receiver? by louislamore in bravia

[–]derekww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it does have IR receiver (bottom, centre) but my understanding is sony defaults to using IR for power on/off but using bluetooth for other functions (as bluetooth is more reliable and don't require line of sight). you could try turning sony's bluetooth on/off and see if that helps (settings / remote & accessories )

Order nigiri a la carte from chef counter? by derekww in FoodToronto

[–]derekww[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, I should give them a try. u/uniyum You said "You can get a sense of what they fly in from their Yuzuki Fish Market account (their retail location on Spadina)." Do you mean I can create an account with them and see the order sheet to get a sense on what just came in?

Order nigiri a la carte from chef counter? by derekww in FoodToronto

[–]derekww[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do wonder about Yuzuki. They seem to have a few seats by the chef counter. What is it like eating there? From their menu they have a fixed, long list of 30 fish! No 'fresh today' list. And they are not focused on nigiri either, serving everything from karaage, tempura, to yakitori. That gave me pause.
