My beloved Panasonic plasma died so I bought a new telly. Sony No Baloney. An XBR49950H.
Too bad! The Panasonic Plasmas were the best panels ever made. I have one still hanging on. After calibration it was phenomenal. I have a newer QLED from Samsung that is amazing too, but not as accurate as the Panny.
Already showed this guy in another thread, but placing this crystal fandelier in this thread as well to take my $$ further. Plus, we’re not having visitors, so who else is going to critique my misguided taste?
Updated the patio speakers. The old, hand me down, "Rock" speakers did me well for 5+ years. Costco had a recent deal on Klipsch KHO-7's that was too good to resist.

Agree, My Panasonic Plasma is 10 years old still going strong.

Agree with you both. My Panasonic Plasma continues going strong after 12+ years. It will be a sad day when it gives up the ghost.

Sure you’re not getting upcharged for the French version? 😂
That’s probably what it is 😂

$400 for high end headphones is not unreasonable at all. $400 for Apple (Beats) headphones is crazy. I suspect they will be fair to middling. Most likely bass heavy, muddled mid range and non existent highs. Coupled with proprietary plugs and totally non-servicable. I also bet they will sell a bazillion of them and my wife or kids will wind up with a pair against my wishes.
Grabbed a couple drip pans from Smokeware during their 24% off sale. These things are nice. Heavy duty
I spent about 20 seconds trying to figure out that weird knob handle, until I finally realized it was your ceiling fan reflection... I need to get more sleep.

Thats a nice TV. I was able to score the A8H on Black Friday weekend for a grand off.
The OLEDs do seem nice. The other telly I was considering was the LG OLED48CXPUB. Space restrictions necessitated a telly <50".
I almost went for the LG but my usage habits told me not to. The tv in our den is generally running 12+ hours a day and many hours at a time its parked on BBC News. I know that current OLEDs have various mitigation strategies to lessen the likelihood of burn in for most users but given my use pattern I decided an OLED wasn't a good fit for the den.

Major issue with current OLEDs is burn in is cummulative. Yes, cummulative. So turning it off, changing the channel, etc does not "reset" the burn in timer like on Plasmas. They last review I read said average viewing habits would probably show signs of burn in within 2-3 years.. Yikes!
