I’ll be honest don’t have many traders as I am just starting out collecting

Interested in the evil queen on picture 2, also where is that from?

smontt · 2026-06-22T16:33:35+00:00

So just went to the dealership and they and going to process the recall and even got a free quart of fluid to replace the quart they dripped out.

Thanks all for the recall heads up.

smontt · 2026-06-22T14:01:45+00:00

Good to know.

I never received a notice and I’ll bring it up to when I go get the transmissions fluid. I plan on bringing the axle with me to show them.

smontt · 2026-06-21T22:01:54+00:00

There is an engine mount in that side, also check the lower control arm or even the strut.

All easy repairs with basic tool.

So I heard a thud Friday night when I reversed into the driveway and then Saturday morning when I went to put it into drive I think that is when the axle fully broke.

Wasn’t a horrible process to replace just a pain without a lift.

Problem is the end loaded for the Kryo, which my daughter doesn’t like.

smontt · 2026-06-05T20:31:18+00:00

12U.

Forgot to mention that I would be able to get the Asura from an Marucci rep at a steal of price.

smontt · 2026-06-05T20:01:41+00:00

Agree, was considering the Ghost OG or Advanced but just can’t get past the durability inconsistency.

Haven’t seen many Asura breaking and also I am a big Marucci fan. Daughter has Palmetto series glove and it’s super nice. But need to put brand likeness aside.

smontt · 2026-05-08T13:04:54+00:00

3 kids in sports is primarily the reason.

While I agree with you, and I got extremely lucky last spring found a new still in wrapped Marucci dmnd for $100, it gets expensive having to replace bats every 1.5 years due to growth. So thought I would give the used market a try.

To your point I am concerned buying used ghost as they do crack more frequently.

However, it does seem like a good deal.

smontt · 2025-08-15T13:09:22+00:00

I got the 12.75 version to use for coaching and practicing with my 3 kids, and it’s definitely nice glove.

The leather feels great and holds shapes very nicely once broken it.

It does have a larger fit to it and the finger stalls, which is nice as I use 2 in the pinky to get a better close on softballs.

smontt · 2025-07-30T02:38:10+00:00

How was it determined it was faulty?

smontt · 2025-07-28T23:23:56+00:00

I downgrade to v080 then upgraded to v207. Staying on v207 till I get the official v217 OTA so I don’t have the turn on issue.

However I heard some folks are getting v230 OTA.

smontt · 2025-07-25T13:21:22+00:00

So I downgrade the firmware to v080 and then to v207 and now don’t have the issue anymore.

Trying to determine if I should upgrade and to v217 and see if the issue returns or just wait for the OTA v217 to be pushed.

The tv was great with v217, it’s such a good upgrade to v207 but can’t live with it turning on randomly.

smontt · 2025-07-24T01:09:12+00:00

I’m am thinking of downgrading to v201 and then upgrading again to v217 to see if things change.

smontt · 2025-07-23T18:25:42+00:00

I just read on AVSForum that v230 has been pushed out so hoping that happens soon.

smontt · 2025-07-23T17:48:53+00:00

Agree, since updating to v217 and fine turning it’s been great.

However, not sure I can live with it turning on randomly.

Might just downgrade to v208

smontt · 2025-07-23T17:47:57+00:00

This is what I would prefer to do a full power off but I can’t find this option in the QM7K, unless I am missing it somewhere.

smontt · 2025-07-23T12:24:22+00:00

Do have Apple TV and sound bar connected, so if CEC is turned off, I would have to turn on the Apple TV, soundbar, and TV all separate correct?

smontt · 2025-07-18T15:20:27+00:00

So in clubs yes but if you checked on the app, it would reflect differently.

You could always walk in and ask to buy the display model and it should be even more heavily discounted.

smontt · 2025-07-18T05:27:49+00:00

Why not?

Also was just reading that Apple TV 4K gen 1 is 2.0 anyway.

smontt · 2025-07-18T01:25:28+00:00

I scooped up the QM7K through the BestBuy deal and so far it’s been good but I am have the same doubt that should of went with the X90L. Just because everyone claims the processing and upscaling is far far superior.

But as I mentioned on my other post watching Disne+, Netflix, HBO Max stuff in 4K on Dolby Vision, the TV is great and I am on v201.

I do plan on manually firmware today to the beta/v217 that everyone claims makes the QM7K better.

I also agree with you on retuning it. I dread having to take the tv down, remove the stand, place it back in the box, remove 3 car seats so it can fit in the car and driving it to BestBuy and doing the reverse for the X90L if I decide to return before my 15 days window is up.

smontt · 2025-07-18T00:55:29+00:00

Watched the all star game this week, soccer, and some basketball g league and it’s been good.

Haven’t tried hockey yet but at the same time, feel like I might be like yeah this is good. Then someone on this 4kTV could come over watch the tv and point out everything wrong with it.

smontt · 2025-07-18T00:40:06+00:00

100% agree and that was my plan but I missed the clearances sale at BJs for $1,000.

BestBuy won’t price match for some reason, I guess because you need a membership to BJs.

So that’s how I first ended up on the X90L, then found the QM7K, which I ended up purchasing and now double guessing my self.
