    I hope the TCL works out for you, five or six years ago when I had to buy new the guy at BB steered me away from them & samsung as they had problems with them.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    So I promised no more pestering people in here to buy my things and I meant it, but if any of you are feeling adventurous I have some rough country aluminum upper control arms I would be willing to give to whoever wants them lol. Never used, one of the boots on the ball joint is torn (showed up that way) but I have a replacement ball joint for it.

    Myself and several others I know have had very good luck with TCL TVs. You get what you pay for AKA the cheapest of the TCLs don't have the best picture or the most features but they still have done well in my experience. I'm currently watching stuff on a TCL right now, our 65-in living room TV is also a TCL, and my grandpa is using a TCL and his living room and we all are happy with them.

    I had mine at 120” for a while but it was too big for the room, you couldn’t sit far enough from it. Now I’m at about 100”

    I take online reviews with a grain of salt. But, there are video reviews on YouTube. If that dude was a bot, I'd be pretty impressed.


    I definitely have my reservations. It feels like buying a Kia.

    The other one I was looking at was a Samsung, so I guess it's a horse apiece.


    This is encouraging. My brother also has a TCL, and is happy with it.


    Lol! I should be ok. I bought it online already, so I just need to pick it up. I am thinking about grabbing a new Blu-ray player, though. So, there's still a chance!


    Yep. I looked on Amazon and a few retailers. A lot of the deals weren't super impressive. This was an $1100 TV for $700, so I jumped on it.


    I love my Blackstone. Great for burgers, bacon, and a few other things. I don't know if I use mine enough to really rationalize having it, but I'm glad I bought it.

    Since the rumor is big tariffs on our Canadian neighbors I have decided that a Black Friday deal from Coastsl Offroad makes sense…

    I did some Black Friday shopping this morning, as well. Was a tight fit, but I made it. I had to drive with my knees practically touching the dash!

    I’m getting a bigger iPad today.
    Somehow it will now still feel a bit small.

    Are the legs backwards or is it just me?

    He probably put them on backwards to fit on his old stand, which I'm guessing didn't work.
