Speaking of! I finally replaced my 2nd monitor in my home office. I have a iMac 5K and got this LG 4K that paired up to the 5k perfectly. I usually don't like LG products but this got good reviews and so far I am impressed.

It's a Tag watch face for the Apple Watch

Oh wow I need to figure out how to do that. I haven't really fiddled with my Apple Watch faces much.

Same here. I like that.

Also ordered a Formula 1 bracelet because I hate leather straps.

I have that same watch, but I have the hardest time seeing what time it is, there's too much going on in the face for me to find the white hands quickly 🤣.

I still love it , really great looking and gets a lot of compliments ...I just hope your eyes are better than mine

Some new boxes and Kaizen foam to keep tools all safe and pretty.

Interested to see what you do with the foam!

I’ve been wanting this for years but always forget to order it. Finally remembered!

After spending money mostly on furniture, kitchen and bath stuff, closet, etc. for a year, we finally got around to starting decorations for our condo in Asheville, NC. Everything is black, white, grey or brown. Needed some color.

Over three-months in transit from Italy, to Holland, through US customs (10-days!) to my home in Virginia during the pandemic.

Something for my two-wheeled BMWs:

Hope I don't regret this one...

The helmet kind of goes with these I just bought for my 3-pedal 4-wheel BMWs:

Hard to regret a home purchase. Does it have a garage??

Are those the Sony XBR-65A8H model?

I found my 14 year old plasma dead upon arrival home from vacation. Need a new TV all set up before next Saturday for football. I’ve done only limited research and won’t have time to do much more.

Don’t tell me that! I’ve still got my 14 year old Panasonic plasma rocking on...

This is the only thing from Apple gadgets that I have not yet had in home ))

Yes, they are. I have to say they have the best picture I have seen - I even replaced a 4 year old Samsung 65" 4K and the OLED tech is far superior, so it isn't just resolution. If you research any OLED TV, you will commonly see the term "inky blacks". But once you see this in person, you will then know how amazing this is.

It also has built-in Apple airplay, so you can natively cast from your iPhone or iPad to the TV. Another great feature is they pass through all sound formats, which is good if you go with the latest soundbar tech. Lastly, although I don't use the TV's speaker (I got a soundbar), they are surprisingly decent as it uses the entire screen itself to transmit sound. We love them.

One caveat - if this is going into a room with bright lighting (lots of windows) these screens do reflect quite a bit.

Thanks. I should have pulled the trigger last night as the price went up today. I ended up buying an LG OLED65CXPUA, to be delivered Wednesday. I think the Sony and LG are pretty similar and both highly rated. Choices these days are overwhelming...

The room does get a lot of light, but we mostly watch at night. We have Denon + speakers for sound and use AppleTV.

You can't go wrong with either - you will love the LG too. Neck and neck in terms of picture quality and performance. Enjoy!

I'm not going to beat up this thread with an extended post, but I'm not the biggest fan of OLED TVs. After seeing too many displays ruined, image/screen retention (aka: burn in) scares the crap out of me. I don't want to have to manage what I watch because I'm afraid of image retention. Shadow detail, and peak brightness are also underwhelming aspects of OLED.

However, off axis viewing, and contrast are exceptional.

Picked up a vintage LeJour chrono in PVD, "the poor man's Heuer."

And a vintage look rally strap for it so I can get it off the goofy dress band.

I'm still rocking my 65" 1080p Panasonic Plasma in the living room. I have a 55" OLED 4K in my home office and the only problem is see is off-axis viewing has some color shifting/washing at extreme angles. Not a deal breaker since watching from that angle is completely ludicrous. At the distance I watch TV, I can't really tell between 4k and 1080. The 4k is really noticeable when I'm on the X-Box though, especially on FPS games when I'm sniping from 100yds+ at a pixel that might be someone's head.

Finally ordered an impact wrench I can bring to the track so I can stop sweating my balls off.
