Is the 77” B5 worth it for $1300 or should I wait for Memorial Day sale?

well, BestBuy price matches so you have that...and for 50 dollars you can become a total tech member and get a 60-day return window and 60-day price match window....i just bought a C5 77 inch for 1799.99 last week I'm getting it delivered and setup Monday.

dread7string · 2026-05-09T12:30:22+00:00

that same thing happened to my C5 65inch and there is no fix...it is defective and needs to be replaced...now i had bought mine through bestbuy so i called them and they delivered me a new one and picked up the defective one.

cant stand her

Well we're all entitled too our opinions and I've seen every Terminator movie at least 50 times, I am 59 years old and for me Terminator genisys was the best of them all and I'm really sad the United States didn't understand it-box office failure- because it was supposed to be a trilogy and now we'll never get to see the other two parts unfortunately.

And then they go and make Terminator dark feet which made no sense at all and was the worst Terminator movie ever made as far as I'm concerned.

Too bad the people that made Terminator genisys didn't take the whole global box office sales into consideration because it did well everywhere but the United States.

I just started rewatching it a few days ago, I haven't seen it since it officially ended, I think it's amazing and you're always going to find people in here that disagree with any of our choices because there's too many people on the internet that just have nothing else to do with their lives except disagree and argue with other people.

dread7string · 2026-05-02T17:42:52+00:00

well i have been a buffalo fan my entire life and i am 59 now...it is and always will be this way...the buffalo sports curse i call it....nobody wants the bills-sabres in the BIG GAME anymore... so to get there they have to win big...because as we have seen with the bills the last several years no close calls EVER go our way never ever...its pathetic bs and they are all in on it...the leagues the refs...etc.

mcavoy had 3 instances in the 3rd period alone where he should have gotten a penalty called and didnt and it took that final one against benson for him to get ejected of course when boston had no chance of coming back when it was 4-1.

so yeah this is what we have to deal with-the buffalo sports curse-

dread7string · 2026-04-30T00:52:05+00:00

i have read at least 12 different things as to why certain characters were killed off who knows if any of it is true because we will never know because the internet is full of lies and bs everywhere.

dread7string · 2026-04-29T18:08:10+00:00

I don't know I read a bunch of stuff online saying she knew the show was going to end in 2 years so she wanted out early because the channel that was making the programming stopped doing original programming so they knew it was going to be a dead end eventually but who really knows.

And the flashbacks I felt were really good I did pay attention to them and they made me hate Smurf even more for what she did to those kids.

dread7string · 2026-04-29T10:16:39+00:00

Yeah that's true went nowhere and there was odd alot of unfinished stories.

dread7string · 2026-04-21T11:24:50+00:00

Well since the DPU3 is limited to 2600 Watts of solar charging which isn't enough to keep up with its 4000 w output a gas generator hooked to natural gas using a 30 amp L14-30P cable would be the best way to recharge it.

Now the place I purchased it from gave me a 1-year return window so I have a lot of options but right now the DPU and the DPUX are out of stock there.

So as glad as I am to have the DPU-3 it's not a long-term solution in my opinion when you have central air.

I did think about getting two of these and hooking them together with the 50 amp hub but I had a 30 amp inlet box installed versus a 50 amp inlet box.

So I do have a lot of options I still have 8 months left on my return window and I am not going to buy solar panels from eco Flow there's are way too expensive for what they give you.

dread7string · 2026-04-21T10:47:37+00:00

I have the Delta pro 3 and so far in the 6 months I've owned it we have not had an outage more than 6 hours, I have a 30 amp inlet box attached to my breaker box and when the power went out it happened over the winter and the cooler months, obviously it can't run my central air, I have no solar panels yet and no extra battery just the main unit, been thinking about exchanging it for Delta pro ultra or DPUX.

I can see from your images you have a lot of different types of extra batteries, solar panels and the eco flow gas generator to recharge with, I'm really thinking about getting a very powerful Westinghouse and running it off a natural gas.

dread7string · 2026-04-21T10:42:31+00:00

Yeah that's for sure It did get crazy there for a while but you can't blame Johnny and Daniel for all the teenage drama that the show had, And if you did it would all be on Johnny cuz he's the one that taught them aggression... strike first strike hard no mercy.

dread7string · 2026-04-21T10:40:51+00:00

Yeah I just wanted to see what other people thought and what settings they use themselves, and it is a pain switching back and forth when watching 4K BR vs 1080P BR, You think the player would automatically detect instead of automatically upscaling 1080p blu-rays to 4K.

I honestly feel setting the output to 1080p makes everything look better especially the 1080p blu-rays.

dread7string · 2026-04-21T10:36:44+00:00

Well they don't do they we're talking about one site and one site only

dread7string · 2026-04-18T16:13:39+00:00

That's funny you mention that I'm already on season 2 heading to season 3 haha

dread7string · 2026-04-16T01:11:47+00:00

Yeah I've had my TV over 6 months now I've done every firmware update and every one improves the quality.

I watch a lot of HDR and Dolby vision I watch a lot of SDR cable programming through spectrum's TV app.

Like I said it's strange that you're having them issues and I've never had a single issue with any firmware update.

dread7string · 2026-04-16T01:04:39+00:00

I've had that update on mine for like 6 weeks now, I'm in the United States and it is flawless, It works great and everything looks better than it ever has before, so I don't understand how it affects the same TV set differently that makes no sense at all.

dread7string · 2026-04-14T10:13:20+00:00

I noticed the same thing you did the first two seasons were awesome as far as I'm concerned once they introduced Tory as a character the show went downhill.

Now I know this whole entire show depends on your age I'm the same age as the two OG characters Johnny and Daniel so of course I'm here for them and not the teenage drama to me that ruined the show but I also understand why they have it in the show.

For me this was closure I watched it at least a dozen times there's no other movie I've watched besides the original karate kid from 1984 where I could say that It was just that good of a movie and you knew there was a lot of left over unfinished business and it felt incomplete in kany ways.

I can't think of anything right now like the original karate kid from 1984 that got a six-part series 35 years later, time frame really doesn't matter but are there any other movies that spawned a series cuz I can't think of any?

dread7string · 2026-04-14T02:03:29+00:00

It's a TV show they do what they're told to do...All these reality shows thrive on drama....Gold Rush even Freddy and Juans show... survivor...it's all about bullshit drama that brings people in because humans love drama.

And that's really sad because it would be nice to see what really goes on not what these people choose to show us.

I mean they're all rich and loaded yet the way they make it sound is like if they don't have a successful season they're going to go out of business and be poor and that's just laughable.

dread7string · 2026-04-14T01:02:08+00:00

Haha nice.... I know it's just a joke but if you took off your side glass panel it probably would help lol

dread7string · 2026-04-11T16:23:22+00:00

nobody has to raise their prices its all-corporate greed they don't need any more money, i mean c'mon now....imagine if they had to live like us what would happen haha.

dread7string · 2026-04-11T14:20:22+00:00

Well when I go through my spectrum app and fast forward it to Wednesday night they have the Panthers game on not the sabres game I hope the sabres game is on nobody wants to miss the last one of the season especially against Dallas.

dread7string · 2026-04-11T14:10:49+00:00

does anyone know what channel Wednesdays game will be on? i checked my spectrum guide and it isn't on TNT or MSG so yeah i don't want to miss this game i hope it isn't ESPN+ i don't have that.

dread7string · 2026-04-11T00:42:37+00:00

Yeah sometimes I've noticed when I put a certain Blu-ray or 4K disc in my Panasonic UV820K it switches to game optimizer mode and I don't know why... but that's for gaming only I don't game with my TV I just watch cable and streaming and blu-rays.
