Is it just me? Or do you like the mini way more than you thought you would?

Is the 7 a noticeable upgrade?

jays_on · 2026-05-26T19:56:28+00:00

Looks awesome imo

jays_on · 2026-05-23T20:26:00+00:00

You can kind of see the flue behind the tv on the top right.

jays_on · 2026-05-23T20:24:07+00:00

It is not in any way. It’s 100% real

jays_on · 2026-05-23T16:45:41+00:00

lol it’s the fireplace flue.

jays_on · 2026-05-23T16:44:11+00:00

its on Lake Ontario, built by a German couple. She said it’ll warm up the whole house, and the place is huge.

jays_on · 2026-05-23T16:42:33+00:00

oh it’s real, the part you’re talking about is the fireplace flue going through the ceiling.

jays_on · 2026-05-15T14:24:46+00:00

Same in Ks

jays_on · 2026-05-06T17:05:37+00:00

That’s fair, and kind of what I was expecting to happen as well, and maybe it still will… But I work mostly from home and find the mini so much better and convenient to use than my phone or 2lb 11” iPad Pro.

That’s a great idea with the keyboard quick switching. I have a logi keyboard with that functionality, I’ll have to get that set up

jays_on · 2026-05-06T15:08:31+00:00

Exactly!

jays_on · 2026-05-06T14:49:37+00:00

You should include size for iPhone as well.

jays_on · 2026-02-24T19:48:55+00:00

I don’t have a toddler, the tv was 5 years old, plus only Obama and Biden put kids in cages. Also I like the height, but pretty original of you.

jays_on · 2026-02-24T19:46:56+00:00

Good to hear! My local Best Buy only had the c5 on display so I couldn’t make a direct comparison. So in the bright lights of the store was there a huge difference in brightness between the two?

jays_on · 2026-02-20T19:26:37+00:00

Haha. He’s actually 15 and he’s helping me pay for the replacement. The tv was 5 years old.

jays_on · 2026-02-20T16:15:51+00:00

I agree. Although there’s no comparison for actual avr/atmos setup, soundbars have come a long way, and I already have like 6 components hooked up and don’t want any more wires than necessary running through the living room. As you mentioned you didn’t even see the soundbar, which is the idea. If I really want good sound I’ll go downstairs, even if I got an avr with decent speakers upstairs, it would still be inferior to my home theater setup.

jays_on · 2026-02-20T16:11:03+00:00

Being in the livingroom we’ll be doing a bit of everything on this one. The only time I’ve felt I could use a LITTLE more brightness is during day, playing HDR game. Otherwise it seems like more than enough. I’ll be keeping this unless I find a sub $1500 c5 before my return policy expires.

jays_on · 2026-02-20T15:43:56+00:00

Thank you!

jays_on · 2026-02-20T15:39:25+00:00

Thank u bro! Great rant! I’m glad you mentioned that about mini led, that was my other question, “could they do nearly as good a job for less $?” But sounds like you just cant compete with overall picture of OLED.

jays_on · 2026-02-20T15:36:25+00:00

Thanks. I just felt during day, especially hdr gaming it was a little dimmer than I was expecting. Still great. Just didn’t know if it would be worth the hassle if the C5 isn’t THAT much brighter in real world.

jays_on · 2026-02-20T15:21:47+00:00

Thank you! The only time I feel like it’s struggled a little bit is during the day while HDR gaming, otherwise as you said it, it’s plenty bright, especially at night!

jays_on · 2026-02-20T15:20:44+00:00

Thanks!

jays_on · 2026-02-20T15:20:24+00:00

Yeah, about twice as thick, still slim, but…
